When she meets Gary (Callum Keith Rennie), a brutish psycho, Leila endures his physical abuse with troubling insouciance, preferring his rough treatment to the passionless marriage waiting for her at home. Some clues to her demeanor are given in a parallel story, in which a young girl plays powerless witness to her mother's sexual encounter with the girl's violent uncle. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Edging more towards softcore porn than art.
-
D.K. Holm, Movie Poop Shoot
It's all kind of obvious, but also terribly slow paced.
-
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
You'll have trouble tracking down a more unwatchable movie this year
-
Jon Popick, Planet Sick-Boy
Another uniquely dazzling performance from Parker, in another unnerving tale from Stopkewich.
