A diabolically clever psychological suspense movie. Read full review

Worth a look. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea
Laced with a venomous wit, and turning progressively creepier as it unfolds, writer-director Jon Reiss' movie offers a black-humored study of suppressed rage, sexual gamesmanship, domination and subordination.

The New York TimesStephen Holden

It's a bitter pill to swallow, featuring a quartet of unsympathetic characters and an unrelenting air of misanthropy. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyErnest Hardy
Reiss guides the film with a firm hand, ratcheting up the tension and ably guiding his actors. It's his protagonists that undo the film, making it a chore to sit through. Read full review
