Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The script kicks in, and Mr. Hartley's distended pace and foot-dragging rhythms follow.
Rotten: Much as I value independence in art, it's possible for a filmmaker to crawl so far onto his own wavelength that he loses touch with everything else.
Rotten: Plodding, peevish and gimmicky.
Rotten: Flaccid drama and exasperatingly slow journey.
