Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Hardman is a grating, mannered onscreen presence, which is especially unfortunate in light of the fine work done by most of the rest of her cast. Read full review

Noel Murray

Hardman never gives her material a chance to develop, because she subjects it to so much forced drama and self-conscious nudging, and when she hits a wall, she gets silly. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

The director and her capable cast appear to be caught in a heady whirl of New Age–inspired good intentions, but the spell they cast isn't the least bit mesmerizing. Read full review

A.O. Scott

Like a soft drink that's been sitting open too long: it's too much syrup and not enough fizz. Read full review

Jami Bernard

A failed experiment in magical realism that makes you wonder where the magic went. Read full review

Rob Sharp

Although the existentialist conclusion highlights the stochastic nature of everyday life, this story of unrequited love doesn't sustain interest beyond the first half-hour. Read full review

Megan Lehmann

Contains much more prosaic ingredients. Like props and sound effects that could have been borrowed from an off-off-Broadway play, a host of painfully strained performances and a plot that's almost unbearably stupid. Read full review

For a fable based on witchcraft, the plot seemed, amusingly, a lot like real life.
