Reception
[edit]Merle Bertrand of Film Threat called the film "provocative and gorgeous to look at" yet "sullen and sluggish".[2] Eddie Cockrell of Variety wrote that the "fine work" of Fox, Curry and Bruton are "undercut" by "unfocused" castmates and David's "ambitious scope".[1]
TV Guide wrote that the film's "febrile subject matter is so dully dramatized that only the most determined viewer will make it to the final revelations."[3] Sarah Hepola of The Austin Chronicle called the film "all splash and flash and unfortunately, little else".[4] Chris Riemenschneider of the Austin American-Statesman wrote that the film "depresses and numbs more than it opens any cans of worms".[5]
