The lead performance by Jennifer Van Dyck is hypnotic and devastatingly real and would have earned an Oscar nomination had the film been backed by the kind of money that usually supports such contenders.

A yuppie in a midlife crisis alternates between repression and indulgence in new experiences. Sensual but unsympathetic.

Bordering on prententious, yet strangely compelling; definitely weird.
