Critic Reviews

David Sterritt

Conjures up enough involving moments to create some drama. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

While handsomely mounted and generally well acted, the film is undermined by long stretches of awkward, obvious dialogue and by the vagueness of Lisa's revolt against the status quo. Read full review

Dave Kehr

In the end, Lisa's revolt seems as predictably programmatic, and as widely abstracted from observable human behavior, as the movie that contains her. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

The characters speak in Dialogue rather than English, the actors are so busy emoting they forget to act and the story feels like a first-draft college project. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

A sluggish and prototypically earnest little indie on the not exactly fresh theme of a woman undergoing a midlife crisis. Read full review

Leonard Klady

Oblique and impenetrable under its glossy surface. Read full review

Edward Crouse

Takes its heroine, Lisa (Van Dyck), to the neurotic brink. Read full review
