“No wonder Jonathan Demme and Barbet Schroeder have joined forces in presenting Tim McCann’s knockout debut feature… It is an utterly compelling portrait of depth and complexity…
A thoroughly unsettling and sensitive drama of acute psychological insight.”
Kevin Thomas, The Los Angeles Times

“Very unlike anything else in American filmmaking… A film with an undeniable moral vision.”
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

“An ultra-low budget drama of considerable accomplishment and sometimes extraordinary power…
This is probably as devastating a portrayal and indictment of modern male insensitivity as any film has given us recently… One of the year’s more impressive debuts.”
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

“Male ego is the demon in this blazingly provocative debut film from the gifted Tim McCann…
You won’t stop talking about this one.”
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.
