Critic Reviews

  • John Anderson, Variety

    [The film] goes down like medicine.

  • Sura Wood, Hollywood Reporter

    [A] sometimes unbearably slow, uneven melodrama that's not without a few powerful sequences.

  • MaryAnn Johanson, Flick Filosopher

    I just couldn't buy into the way the film veered into a family drama when it started out so confidently.
