Critic Reviews

I found the opening third tremendously intriguing and involving, I thought the emotions were so real they could be touched, but then the film lost its way and fell into the clutches of sentimental melodrama.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Reserved, careful and largely predictable in the way it plays out its wrenching emotional crises.Full Review

Todd McCarthy
Variety

Everything looks professional if undistinguished.Full Review

Manohla Dargis
The New York Times

Alison Eastwood's debut feature is slow, deliberate, assured, and shot with a graceful feel for place--none of which is enough to overcome the creaky themes that tie this hackneyed domestic drama together with fearsome symmetry.Full Review

Village Voice

While it features three strong performance and the debut of a promising filmmaker, the story line is obvious and rather melodramatic.Full Review
