	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"A pretty skillfully handled domestic thriller (...) [It] generates some genuine tension"	POS

United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"Directed by Luis Mandoki using every pot and pan in the kitchen, the movie is a negligible work of manipulation"	NEG
