New York PostV.A. MusettoOct 28, 2011
While the original was an art-house success, this English-language redo, now getting a one-week run after sitting on the shelf for a year and a half, doesn't measure up. Read full review

Lumbers, stumbles, and blows all its secrets at the outset. Read full review

Slant MagazineRob HumanickOct 26, 2011
The filmmakers are so generally clueless about getting the most out of a provocative concept that it's like running into a subtextual brick wall. Read full review
