- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Pic stays on the surface, without attempting any exploration of painful depths. Result is at best amusing; at worst, uninvolving, often confusing, and sometimes a little boring."
-
"The movie contains its moments, charms and felicities-even its sharp stings of pleasure and pain"
-
"No one seems to be having any fun, including the normally masterful Van Sant, whose direction is unstructured, confusing, and lackadaisical."
-
"A film that aims high, means well, and ultimately fails its audience."
-
"Loaded as it is with undeveloped notions about feminism and individuality, nothing about it is really memorable except the appealing musicality of the fine k.d. lang/Ben Mink score, which deserves better"
-
"Van Sant winds up with disconnected, dispirited pieces that never come together and lift off the screen with a whoosh of sly high spirits. "
-
"Van Sant's film is cold and the gallery of eccentrics merely come across as vulgar caricatures."
