A must-see.
There's enough sexual manic depression to justify house calls from Dr. Laura.
Such a rigorous exploration of sexual obsession that it proves to be a most demanding film.
Only mildly interesting.
Talky, overlong and, ultimately, just as predictable and repetitive as the maddening relationship it depicts.
It's a movie about an idiot in the grip of something common place. He starts off as a garden-variety idiot and progresses to a big idiot.
As exasperating as it is insightful. The film ultimately falters, though, because it's so resolutely old-fashioned.
