Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The movie tries to make Yves' decision into some kind of deep metaphysical statement, but actually it's just a tortured version of the old advice to live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse. Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Steven Alan McGaw Texas Triangle/TXT [It's] consistently interesting... But this is essentially a two-character, two-location film, and the action simply drags.

Audience Member A very stylish, powerful, impressive black & white montage opening. The film, however, was way too stage (directing, acting) overall. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
