The New Republic
The making of the film is so slick, the acting so exceptional, that we find ourselves trapped - caring about what happens to the three principals. [6 May 1991, p.26]

Surprisingly touching.

Entertainment Weekly
It's like "The Terminator" as reimagined by the editors of French Vogue.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Always stylish and occasionally thrilling and never thoughtful.
