    Compelling and pretensious, but Neve Campbell gives one of her best performances.

    Campbell shines in this slight story. The lesbian scene, in particular, is quite good, although I was hoping for more of that. Come on, Neve, forgot about those stupid guys!!
  • February 28, 2006
    Stirring images prove that Campbell has never lost her game, and that Toback may be an underground force to be reckoned with.

    Neve Campbell plays a sexy woman in the city who tried of being neglected by her boyfriend (Frederick Weller from Plain Sight). He's always scheming on new ways to make money. He's also a cheating low life. Campbell's character cheats too but I didn't really blame her and I had ...( read more)no idea why she was even with him.

    The movie spends the first half of the movie showing that they live two totally different lives. Classical music is played when she is shown and rap is played when he is shown. It does work at first but then it switches back and forth between them for a whole half hour of rap and classical music being switched back and forth..... So, that was a bit annoying. We get it, they live two totally different lives. While Fred Weller was just annoying which made me glad she wanted to double cross his character. He deserved it, he was a
    jerk.

    I don't know why Roger Ebert gave the movie for stars but he was the only person. I guess he was thinking with his hormones since Campbell is shown nude in the shower for the first 3 minutes. She is sexy and should be in more movies but she is way above this movie. She is at least the only good thing about it. No, not because they show her naked, well not only anyway lol. She also gives a good performance.

    So dull, I didn't even finish watching it.

    Une Etoile et demie JUSTE pour Neve, sa fraicheur ne sauve pas le film du bourbier dans lequel il s'est mit seul...
  • September 21, 2008
    This is somewhat of a return to form for director James Toback (who has never managed to top his 1978 film, Fingers). Anyway, Neve Campbell's performance alone makes the film worth seeing (lots of gratuitous shots of her T&A for all you pervs out there, lol).
  • August 21, 2008
    Sadly, the greatest part of this movie was the "curtain scene" otherwise it lacks much.
  • June 8, 2008
    Not at all interested
  • May 23, 2008
    I will never love you, Neve. Never.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Like a jazz solo that touches familiar themes on its way to a triumphant and unexpected conclusion. full review

September 23, 2004
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

It offers no new insights into the corrupting effects of money and erotic power. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

The whole picture seems coated with a slimy sheen of drool. full review

Naked Neve Campbell gets painstakingly clean in one of the most beautiful showers I have ever seen. full review
