  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    Laconte's lyrical film is a painful tale of erotic obsession, imbued with a typically French fateful sensibility, and splendidly acted by the entire cast.

  • David Poland, Hot Button

    Am powerful, intimate portrait of love

  • Michael W. Phillips, Jr., Goatdog's Movies
