---|---|---|---|
United States | Variety | "Classy, decorous and well acted" | POS |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "I'm certainly not asking for car chases and explosions here, but this is a suspense film that's too 'adult' for its own good" | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "A beautiful and consistently engaging film, but that the filmmakers dared cast all three lead roles with actors who are over 40 makes it especially rewarding" | POS |
United States | New York Post | "An extremely well- acted thriller that simply fails to thrill." | NEU |

United States | LA Weekly | "Unsatisfying as crime drama but haunting as a meditation on marriage." | POS |
