Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    Writer-director Leslie McCleave knows how to stir the pot, dropping various weird or menacing characters in the couple's path, but by the end of the movie's 92 minutes it still isn't soup yet.

  • Robert Koehler, Variety

    What begins as a faintly unsettling Twilight Zone riff, soon becomes deadly with repetition and a lack of ideas.

  • Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

    McCleave, making her feature debut, shows skill and emotion.

  • Steven Snyder, Zertinet Movies

    It's a less "entertaining" movie, but a much more life-affirming one.

  • Michele Kenner, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

    Writer-director Leslie McCleave offers no explanation beyond juxtaposing sour lake beds and radioactive vats with the tension between the former lovers. The environment, with upstate New York standing in for Ontario, rarely looks this distasteful.
