Sloppy, self-satisfied and surprisingly heartfelt.
By Elizabeth Weitzman FULL REVIEW

Less an updated version of the Dostoevsky novel than an unusually somber Hollywood teen love story.
By Jonathan Foreman FULL REVIEW

Somehow manages to stay afloat on a sea of pretension, thanks largely to some splashy visuals.
By Michael Atkinson FULL REVIEW

Often succumbs to the craven hysteria perhaps inherent in its hoary premise.
By Jessica Winter FULL REVIEW

A cut above the usual teenage-wasteland movie.

A somber, draggy, deadweight, lugubrious, absurdly self serious version of ''American Beauty.''
