Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerSep 10, 2011
See the film, if you must, for Mara, who will be starring in the upcoming Hollywood remake of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." She's a sharp, vigilant actress whose career bears watching. Read full review

The New York TimesAndy WebsterSep 8, 2011
An uneven drama set at a girls' boarding school, rarely rises above the generic, though its atmosphere of coddled young people indulging themselves in opulent surroundings is palpably authentic. Read full review

A great-looking but wearyingly cliched and confusing vanity production. Read full review

Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerSep 4, 2011
Francesca Gregorini and Tatiana von Furstenberg's film is episodic, but the episodes don't achieve any kind of cumulative effect. Read full review
