Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum

A must-see.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker

Kahn manages to turn his feast of flesh, navel-gazing talk and self-destructive jealousy into a thoughtful reflection on the subject.

San Francisco Examiner by Wesley Morris

There's enough sexual manic depression to justify house calls from Dr. Laura.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

Catches you with a creepy sucker punch.

New York Daily News

Only mildly interesting.

New York Post by Hannah Brown

Talky, overlong and, ultimately, just as predictable and repetitive as the maddening relationship it depicts.

L.A. Weekly by Ernest Hardy

As exasperating as it is insightful. The film ultimately falters, though, because it's so resolutely old-fashioned.
