What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
This stylistic restraint may help deflect accusations of exploitation (though the film's two pivotal sex scenes both feel uncomfortably extended, the initial crime lasting a squirm-inducing six minutes), but it also impedes our connection with the victims.
The screenplay leaves it to the audience to map the psychological terrain, which will frustrate some but thrill others who prefer oblique storytelling.
Boxoffice Magazine by Richard Mowe
This film is only for those with strong constitutions and a penchant for painstaking details.
