	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Atom Egoyan's fable on memory and truth is wrecked by a terrible lead performance and dubious assertions (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"Egoyan’s finest film since 'The Sweet Hereafter' (...) To watch the movie is to be caught up in a detective story that operates on several levels"	POS
United Kingdom	Howard Feinstein Screendaily	"The camera glides at a near-perfect leisurely pace (...) Unfortunately, the stories here are thin, unnecessarily complicated and glibly cryptic"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Some viewers may find the film confusing; I found it absorbing (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"The movie is slow and airless, with a script so weak one wonders why Egoyan bothered to film it."	NEG
United States	Scott Tobias AV Club	"Under the violin swells of Mychael Danna’s enveloping score, Egoyan weaves the personal, the political, and the technological into an immense yet intimate comment on our troubled times"	POS
