Critic Reviews

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
Well made but hopelessly dull...
-
Brent Simon, Shared Darkness
A deeply weird stab at a sort of humanistic erotic thriller whose interesting themes are sabotaged by two woefully miscast leads...
-
Rachel Gordon, Filmcritic.com
From the start, none of the characters you are presented with have likable qualities, so it's extremely hard to care when any fail, or don't get what they want
-
Prairie Miller, NewsBlaze
Laced with a lush, foreboding sense of noirish upscale LA surroundings, but excessively detailed too much information hot sex on the menu and little psychological insight going on above character collarbones.
