Entertainment WeeklyLisa Schwarzbaum
There's nothing particularly revolutionary about writer-director Robert Edwards' grimly satiric political fable. Read full review

Village VoiceMichael Atkinson
It's an easy movie to loathe, but it's designed imaginatively and enjoys the committed attention of its cast. Read full review
