Critic Reviews
-
David Rooney, Variety
The accomplished filmmaker and her able cast still manage to provide rewards in the delicacy with which they sketch the way a woman in a marriage neither happy nor unhappy drifts into an affair, and persists despite clear indications of extreme danger.
-
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
It's a taut, observant thriller that tries to find out why the moth is drawn to the proverbial -- and potentially deadly -- flame.
-
Tracy Allerton, South Florida Sun-Sentinel
The thrills, alas, are few and far between, and the psychological element is too hard to believe.
