Critic Reviews

  • Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness

    One of [Ferrara's] most rewardingly challenging works.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

  • Brent Simon, Now Playing Magazine

  • Spyder Darling, NY Rock

    More dreadful than dangerous.

    There is a good reason for the fact that nobody knows this film. Madonna should be banned from acting forever. I am truly ashamed to admit I actually own the DVD. It was cheap and I didn't know the movie, dammit! ;-)
