70A well-crafted film, and it must be said that its actresses, in being prepared to come close to baring all for art, reveal stunning figures and perform scorching routines.
-
60An ensemble piece developed from an improvisational workshop, the movie exudes a haunted melancholy that recalls such early Alan Rudolph films as "Choose Me" and "Welcome to L.A," and it includes several flashy performances.
-
50Contains striking moments, but never coheres.
-
30An exercise in improv-derived filmmaking that simply proves once again that there's no substitute for a good script.
