Film Threat -
Thoroughly entertaining and will possibly get you thinking about certain choices you've made in your life.
|
|
|
Washington Post -
A compelling, exquisitely acted drama about the shock waves emanating from -- and toward -- a single act of almost inexplicable violence.
|
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
A complex and often compelling melodrama, at times almost verging on soap opera.
|
|
|
L.A. Weekly -
Only Chris Klein, as the lovesick live-in boyfriend of Becky's sister, is given anything like an active emotional arc to play, and he runs with it so beautifully that he steals the movie.

Variety -
Hoge shows no particular directorial style, bringing a bland, anonymous look to the generic Southern California suburban locations.
