Critic Reviews
-
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Akin makes this a most intriguing, if roundabout, journey from despair to 'do something.'
-
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
The power of Akin's film, which is considerably aided by the two lead performances ... comes from the spectacle of people developing feelings for each other even through numbing layers of mutual narcissism, self-loathing and raging terror of intimacy.
-
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Violent and sexy and funny and sad.
-
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
By the time the film concludes, you will likely feel better for having gone the distance, for having faced all this head-on.
-
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
This is a gritty drama about self-destruction. On a basic level, its title refers to an early scene in which a man floors his car and plows into a brick wall. In a more general sense, it reflects the protagonists' fatalistic approach to life.
