Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

If a movie like this had a neat ending, the ending would be a lie. We do not want answers, but questions and observations.

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

A thoughtful, stunning piece of work in what, of late, has been an otherwise arid indie landscape.

Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector

The characters--their motives at once obvious and obscure--are almost painfully fascinating.

New York Post Hannah Brown

Simply not as involving or moving as it should be.

Miami Herald Marta Barber

Claire Dolan leaves you as unfulfilled as Claire feels after having sex with one of her johns.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

Cartlidge's beautifully still performance, mournful one moment, defiant the next, lets you see into Claire's soul without editorializing or begging for our empathy.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Shattering in its own quiet way.

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt

(Kerrigan) remains an insightful stylist with impressively high artistic standards.

Village Voice J. Hoberman

Less awful than inert, Claire Dolan comes across as a willfully bad movie.

The average user rating for this movie is 8.5 (out of 10) based on 2 User Votes

Gerald N. gave it an8:
A severe, intelligent, uncompromising film made with great care. If you see the DVD, watch the nine minute critique in special features.

Nicole P. gave it a9:
Thought provoking film. Did not portray any of the characters in a stereotypical manner. All Vincent D'Onofrio fans will enjoy this film.
