Kate Taylor Globe and Mail 03/17/2006
2.5/4
A film of genre-busting twists and devilish narrative turns that never manages to turn its quirkiness into genuine charm nor its cleverness into real feeling. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey Variety 09/29/2005
A competently handled puzzler whose derivative resolution proves its undoing. Go to Full Review
