United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "This is a psychothriller with the plausibility of a nightmare -- which is to say, it doesn't make sense, but it keeps your attention (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | POS |

United States | Los Angeles Times | "How anyone in the cast manages to keep a straight face is one of the film's innumerable mysteries" | NEG |
