A man and a woman, referred to only as "He" and "She," engage in a sexual affair that starts out as purely physical but turns into something more. The affair unfolds in an ad in the paper and in Internet chatrooms and behind a closed hotel door. Desire spirals as the couple grow closer than initially imagined.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Baltimore Sun by

A passionate, heart-wrenching film that is a must-see for any romantic.

63

Boston Globe by Jay Carr

A bit of a cop-out, wrapping in wistful sentimentality a failure to acknowledge a connection that is more than epidermal.

90

Dallas Observer by Luke Y. Thompson

By boiling the characters down to the most basic emotions and eliminating lifestyle-specific idiosyncrasies, we can enter the world of the story with ease.

80

Time by Richard Schickel

This wee, discreet little movie has a certain rueful intelligence about the ways we rather carelessly talk ourselves into love--and out of it as well.

88

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert

It is about the desiring itself, not about what they desire. That makes it more intriguing than if we knew their secret--and sexier.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Steven Rea

An extraordinarily perfect little film: A bittersweet drama that explores sexuality and love, and their reverberations across the landscape of human emotions.
