  • July 16, 2008
    Really excellent movie, but not for the faint of heart.
  • October 13, 2007
    YES! This movie was quirky and interesting, with a strange family in a mansion. Fun in a weird captivatingly demented way.
  • June 2, 2007
    Witty and strange with a bit of an incestuous ick factor mixed in for good measure.
  • May 18, 2007
    Annoying movie. Overly self-conscious, funny very rarely, and poorly adapted from the play.
  • March 5, 2007
    Very odd, but so entertaining...
  • November 23, 2009
    If you like Parker Posey, then this movie is a MUST!
  • September 28, 2009
    Very funny YET bizarre movie. Some crazy twists!
  • July 26, 2009
    I like Parker Posey but I thought this movie was WAY overrated.
  • June 24, 2009
    Really great translation from the play, and despite the fact tori spelling is in it, her character fits her. AND hands down my favorite parker posey performance.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

This is a definitive Posey performance: wide-eyed, smiling and ultrafeminine, but plastic and cold as a store mannequin. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

When the film was over I was not particularly pleased that I had seen it; it was mostly behavior and contrivance. While it was running, I was not bored. full review
