Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 13, 2002 Full Review Toronto Star Rated: 3/4 Mar 13, 2002 Full Review Brian Gibson Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) Rarely has melodrama unfolded so ponderously. . . . This is an overwrought, precious potboiler pretending to be a serious feminist art film. Dec 1, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A dull slow moving film. The highlight was the fact that Gabriel Byrne was in the audience watching it behind me. He was more exciting than the film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
