Critic Reviews

  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

    If I had to spend the weekend with these whiny, pretentious characters, I'd jump in the lake and never come up.

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    An engaging drama about grief based on a novel by Peter Cameron.

  • Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews

    A slow, ponderous and pretentious film, it has a treacly score that fills every crevice of the set.

  • David Noh, Film Journal International

    It gets pretty thick, but, thankfully, some of the performances cut through the preciousness.
