      J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Writer-director Leslie McCleave knows how to stir the pot, dropping various weird or menacing characters in the couple's path, but by the end of the movie's 92 minutes it still isn't soup yet. Nov 16, 2006 Full Review Robert Koehler Variety What begins as a faintly unsettling Twilight Zone riff, soon becomes deadly with repetition and a lack of ideas. Nov 16, 2006 Full Review Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune McCleave, making her feature debut, shows skill and emotion. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 16, 2006 Full Review Steven Snyder Zertinet Movies It's a less "entertaining" movie, but a much more life-affirming one. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 21, 2007 Full Review Michele Kenner Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Writer-director Leslie McCleave offers no explanation beyond juxtaposing sour lake beds and radioactive vats with the tension between the former lovers. The environment, with upstate New York standing in for Ontario, rarely looks this distasteful. Rated: 2/4 Mar 16, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
