Robert Koehler Variety 09/21/2005
Immensely engrossing. Go to Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter 09/16/2005
Despite some neatly understated yet complex performances by Griffiths and newcomer Everett, the film has a tendency to meander from scene to scene without ever sufficiently engaging the viewer. Go to Full Review Dan Sallitt Senses of Cinema 10/17/2018
[Director Jim] McKay never finds an effective way to drive this paradox home, though he is an honest enough filmmaker to expose it. Go to Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com 11/27/2006

11/04/2017 Dull, uninteresting, nothing happens, and the end was just as good as the rest of it. See more 04/18/2013 Good independent film from HBO. Worth watching all the way! Intense but enjoyable. I love the song in the ending credits..so beautiful. See more 07/23/2011 i came across this movie quite by accident. The presence of Rachel Griffiths made me want to keep watching, only i seemed to spend the whole movie waiting for something to happen. not sure if this made it intriguing or boring. See more 10/02/2008 Funny really , Funny the director made the scenes like novels... but eventhough i liked to watch whats gonna happen to this guy... slow movie with no feelings... and do HBO have its own productions??? hmmm amazing... See more 11/22/2006 Good film, very realistic and believable. Sensitively directed by Jim McKay, well acted by everyone, especially the young Jonan Everett. Good score. The pace is a little on the slow side, but at least it didn't outstay it's welcome. The filmmakers achieved a lot with a minimal budget. See more Read all reviews
