San Francisco Chronicle
One of the most quietly powerful endings in recent memory.

Boston Globe
Beneath its glitz, poses, and pub crawlers and club prowlers, it's an old-fashioned morality tale.

Philadelphia Inquirer
The kind of date movie that should do a lot to promote celibacy.

An ultra-stylized, empty mess.

Paul Cullum
A creepy clinical voyeurism and condescending empathy that can't help but alienate its intended audience.

Austin Chronicle
A bleak, depressing film.

Flirts with the idea of insight.
