Chicago Tribune

Michael Wilmington

This is a meaty, well-crafted thriller that absorbs and disturbs you from first frame to last. Read full review

Christian Science Monitor

David Sterritt

Lounguine tells the story with more discipline than you'll find in his earlier films, painting a crowded portrait of a society moving toward a future it can neither confidently predict nor look forward to with anything but nervous anticipation. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh
