Critic Reviews

Andrew Grant

Clichéd and formulaic. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Makes little attempt to be credible or original. And the acting is poor. Read full review

Walter Addiego

The bad news is that the characters and situations are platitudes and the story is so heavy-handed that the film is hard to sit through. Read full review

Gary Goldstein

The whole thing plays like a bad Equity-waiver one-act. Read full review

Melissa Anderson

Misery pile-up. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

This laughably clichéd dive into sexual masochism and hardscrabble survival replaces story with outline and characters with place holders. Read full review

Andrew Barker

A waste of a talented, earnest cast, this borderline offensive indie, set for an Oct. 2 limited release, shouldn't take up too much valuable theater space before fading away. Read full review

Haven't seen the film but i just thought id say that the average of these 7 ratings is around 21.5...........how 13 was calculated is puzzling! A lot of the average scores on this site seem to be inaccurate.

Um Ulrich, I would like to let you know that the reason it isn't exact is because some critic's scores are more important than others, therefore it is not an exact average.
