September 30, 2009Well directed by Lodge Kerrigan with some brilliant acting by Damian Lewis who really steals the show with a very powerful performance & Abigail Breslin who is excellent at such a young age. Unfortunately, all the initial suspense and intrigue that this film starts with soon desc...( read more)

April 14, 2009An emotionally harrowing film that's probably too downbeat for general audiences. But for the more adventurous viewer seeking provocative fare, it confirms that Lodge Kerrigan is a filmmaker of acute sensitivity and psychological nuance.

June 2, 2007Damian Lewis's mumbling had me completely engrossed throughout. He gives a brilliant performance in this somber, yet touching indie film about a man struggling to come to terms with the disappearance of his little girl. It is perfectly paced, and captivating from start to finish.

September 14, 2009Good, but very slow and I don't think a film for everyone. I liked it, but it was hard going at times and I did expect something a little more dramatic for the ending, Also I would have liked a little more explanation as to what actually happened to his daughter, (though I gues...( read more)

August 30, 2009This compared to 'Clean, Shaven' is a slightly more cleaner movie, more hopeful and though it deals with the same themes of isolation, mental breakdowns and father-daughter relations that is seen in the earlier film and yet, though it might seem inferior, I felt more happier watc...( read more)

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
Just another in a long line of films that tries and fails to examine the issue, taking the easy road by remaining detached from its own proceedings. full review
