Critic Reviews

  • Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

    This realist fairy tale of impossible love has a fair amount of nuance and charm.

  • Rex Reed, New York Observer

    So boring that even its target audience talked all the way through it.

    One eye roll after another. I don't know I made it through the entire movie, but there are no redeeming qualities to this one. None.
