	Media	Author	Review
		Vincent Canby The New York Times	"This time I think it's really safe to say that the movie is not the fault of the actors. The screenplay is beyond repair except by a shredder."
		Chris Auty Time Out	"A minor (low budget) gem"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What is director John Byrum trying to do in this movie? I'm not sure. The movie's a triumph of art direction, all right (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
