Seattle Post-Intelligencer

An enigmatic but gorgeous film.

By Paula Nechak FULL REVIEW

Dallas Observer

Rea hits just the right balance of sympathy and self-interest.

By Andy Klein FULL REVIEW

Chicago Tribune

A shy and depressed college graduate falls in love with a Bohemian artist, as in Woody Allen's "Manhattan."

By John Petrakis FULL REVIEW

Salon

It doesn't take Rea long to decide that he's more interested in extending his record for Longest Acting Career Sustained on One Expression, and he's back to his baggy-eyed, hangdog look.

By Charles Taylor FULL REVIEW

Chicago Reader

Partly because the seducer's technique is methodical--as a former conquest explains to the naive heroine--the movie's answers are too easy.
