Critic Reviews

Variety Staff, Variety
Unfortunate thesps take it all very seriously, while technical aspects are emptily polished.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Drew Barrymore stars in a melodrama that borders on high-class kiddie porn.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Why settle for the usual walk around the exploitation block when Shea offers a wild ride with the top down into uncharted territory?
-
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
For the most part the actors' work seems incomplete because their characters are cut off before they can fully blossom.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
There is scarcely a moment in the movie when the story works as fiction; I was always aware of the casting, of the mood-setting devices, of the stylistic borrowings from Hitchcock.
