Critic Reviews
-
Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail
Grounded by the stark physicality of the location and the emotional charge generated by those prison-bound passions (Jean Genet would have approved).
-
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
Is it a movie or the best-designed episode of Nova ever?
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Involving and affecting even if it is not completely coherent or fully realized.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Clearly attempting to make the story relevant for contemporary times, they use a variety of stylistic devices that serves to have the opposite effect, distancing us from a story that might have been far more compelling if rendered in a direct fashion.

John McMurtrie, San Francisco Chronicle
The movie's pretty much a stinker.
