Critic Reviews

V.A. Musetto

A miracle of indie filmmaking. Shot for practically nothing by first-time director David Barker, it delivers more bang for its minimal bucks than many a Hollywood blockbuster does for its multimillions. Read full review

Dave Kehr

The writer and director, David Barker, discards the didactic tone of so much American independent filmmaking in favor of a character study that leads to no easy conclusions. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

It's cool and spare, but there's an essential lightness to the film's tone despite the heavy material, and Deborah Eve Lewis' glistening B&W cinematography is simply luscious. Read full review

Merle Bertrand

You keep waiting for the pot to boil over, but it never does. Instead, Barker lets the steam vent out all too easily and the film falls flat in the end as a result. Read full review

Patrick McGavin

Ultimately Barker's style drains the life from the film, making it feel like an academic exercise as it becomes increasingly inert, emotionally and dramatically. Read full review

Dennis Lim

A stifling chamber piece laced with Repulsion-style foreboding and an undercurrent of kink. Read full review
