Critic Reviews

75 Christian Science Monitor
The plot isn't very original, but the acting and dialogue have a low-key realism that packs more emotional punch than a dozen of the standard-issue romantic dramas crowding the independent-film scene.
50 TV Guide
The results are only so-so.
40 The New York Times
Dreary.
38 New York Daily News
Though Morrow and Forlani are fine actors, they can't even fake a physical attraction between their characters, let alone orgasms.
32 Mr. Showbiz
A tepid, pretentious indie that flies from the memory like a tissue in a twister.
30 Variety
So understated as to sometimes lack a pulse.
20 Village Voice
Anemic.
