Convinced that her husband's beautiful co-worker Mara (Blunt) is seeking to rob her of her family and steal her identity, Sophie Hartley (Sarandon) finds nothing but incredulous stares when she voices her concern to her disbelieving family and friends. As Sophie struggles to maintain her slipping sanity and the grip of paranoia continues to tighten its constricting grip, her acute obsession finds Sophie becoming her own worst nightmare. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Urban Cinefile Critics, Urban Cinefile
The early scenes give the film the impetus of a mystery, or even perhaps a psychological thriller, but there are a couple of gear changes that take it eventually into soap opera territory.

Betty Jo Tucker, ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Although the twist ending surprised me, it makes perfect sense. But why this excellent thriller went straight to DVD makes no sense at all.

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Suspense psicológico rasteiro que, apesar da boa atuação de Sarandon, se perde irremediavelmente em seu ato final, quando abandona qualquer pretensão de inteligência e se entrega ao absurdo.
