Variety Staff Variety Nov 1, 2007
An attempt at an intimate personal drama that just doesn't come off. Go to Full Review
Time Out Jan 26, 2006
A film which creates drama more out of gesture and nuance than dialogue, and employs a lush setting which overwhelms instead of pointing up the characters' emotions. Go to Full Review
Janet Maslin New York Times Aug 30, 2004
2.5/5

Diego Galán El Pais (Spain) Aug 29, 2019

Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Jan 7, 2011
C
