Critic Reviews

  • Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News

    Their characters may feel lost, but Ms. Perabo and Ms. Paré rank among the finds of the year.

  • Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

    This movie goes so far in the opposite direction of most films about teenagers that it might anger some viewers with its no-holds-barred honesty.

  • Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

    Barely skirting the lip of the ridiculous.

  • Kevin Courrier, Globe and Mail

    Pool and Thompson have turned a tough-minded, solid narrative into a campy piece of kitsch that panders to teenage angst.

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    Evokes the intimacies of teenage girls with unusual delicacy, and Perabo's performance is a geyser of emotion.

    Two souls united. Two hearts entwined. A casual observer taken into the fold...becomes a friend...becomes a confidante. Together we make each other stronger or...we have the capacity to tear each other down. Two in love and a third to see, but what is left in the end when one succumbs… More

    OK sure this can be slotted in to the Sex and Snowshoes camp of Canadian film-making but it is a pretty decent effort all around and there is some excellent acting. Like all Canadian films it runs to the tragic and the melodrama so make sure to bring some happy pills. You will also… More
