Brian Gibson Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) 12/01/2003
Rarely has melodrama unfolded so ponderously. . . . This is an overwrought, precious potboiler pretending to be a serious feminist art film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/17/2012 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. See more Read all reviews
