Bruce McCabe Boston Globe Apr 27, 2018
Kleiser wisely grasps that his setting is at least as important as his story and constructs his story to take maximum advantage of the fact. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Oct 23, 2004
2/4
The result is a movie that doesn't really work as semi-erotic romance, and never quite gets itself together as a character study. It's as if Frankie and Annette were in therapy. Go to Full Review
F.X. Feeney L.A. Weekly Nov 10, 2021
Hilariously bad. The best thing you can say about this film is that it establishes, once and for all, the themes and preoccupations of its writer-director. Go to Full Review

...just further proof that characters don't have to be interesting for movies to be made about them as long as they're white, young, and beautiful. Go to Full Review

... not your usual eighties sex romp.... takes an adult look at love, sex, and modern romance in the uninhibited world of the Greek islands. Go to Full Review
