[The film] goes down like medicine. Go to Full Review
Sura Wood The Hollywood Reporter 01/22/2006
[A] sometimes unbearably slow, uneven melodrama that's not without a few powerful sequences. Go to Full Review
MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher 02/02/2009
[A]voids all the overblown histrionics of other similar films that have dealt with such subject matter... and finds the quiet but difficult core of the act of will that is survival and recovery. Go to Full Review

I just couldn't buy into the way the film veered into a family drama when it started out so confidently. Go to Full Review

Paola Y 11/27/2024 Raw film, amazing cast, tackles more serious and darker issues. The storyline has a lot of potential but I wish they would improve some of the the dialogue. There are lines that felt a little cliche which were fortunately saved by the great delivery of the actors. Movie has a tendency to jump from one scene to another. I wish it gave more time for viewers to explore the relationships and trauma. Overall, it’s still worth watching. I enjoyed studying acting styles of the actors (especially in indie films) and the topic would always be relevant and thought provoking. See more 05/08/2015 If it wasn't for Cybill Shepherds lousy acting this film would have been far more entertaining. Her role as an overprotective mother just disappoints. A story of rape and its effects on a couple. Simple film. See more 09/07/2014 A movie meant for the serious times, but then one would think there are too many flaws.. However, nothing that jams the brain, with a serious story line, but definitely in need of a better screenplay and dialogue delivery.. What however beats one's sense, is why the male fiancee had to be made so defensive in the entire saga, when nothing was really his fault? See more nilufer e @Nilicim 10/30/2013 It was a fine psychological drama. It sure was depressing and not so interesting but the starting was powerful and it got really slow later, I was kind of confused, waiting something to happen. See more 06/02/2013 This starts out with a point and then grows rather aimless. Cybill Shepherd was absolutely terrible. See more 08/26/2012 The plot is about as slow-paced as it gets, but I still enjoyed it; a very honest film. Tunney and Edgerton played their parts well. See more Read all reviews
