3/5
If the plot is thin, at least the characters are interesting, and the performances are consistently strong. Go to Full Review
Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle Jul 18, 2005
2.5/5
Terrio's technically proficient film is mature, modern, and minus the all-important passion and risk. Go to Full Review
Ann Hornaday Washington Post Jul 8, 2005

Ellie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) Jun 5, 2019
2/4
No life, no personality, no passion of its own. Go to Full Review
Brian Webster Apollo Guide Apr 19, 2007
72/100
An intelligent and perceptive film, neither unique nor earth-shattering, but still worthwhile. Go to Full Review
David Noh Film Journal International Mar 1, 2007
This emotional jigsaw puzzle is cannily constructed. Go to Full Review
