John Anderson Variety [The film] goes down like medicine. Jan 27, 2006 Full Review Sura Wood Hollywood Reporter [A] sometimes unbearably slow, uneven melodrama that's not without a few powerful sequences. Jan 22, 2006 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher [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. Feb 2, 2009 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...feels like a short that's unnaturally been expanded to feature length... Rated: 2/4 Oct 25, 2007 Full Review Don R. Lewis Film Threat I just couldn't buy into the way the film veered into a family drama when it started out so confidently. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 27, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 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? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review nilufer e 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This starts out with a point and then grows rather aimless. Cybill Shepherd was absolutely terrible. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked the movie but not that much,acting and storyline seemed realistic.It provided a basis for some good discussion which is an important of a movie experience,can't say it was a must see though.So for that being said I gave this film a C- Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
