- 38RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.comIt's sad when a movie that aspires to tell a sad, even tragic, story can't quite connect, and lies there inert on the screen instead of galvanizing or even stirring emotions the way it means to.

- 25The PlaylistKevin JagernauthThe PlaylistKevin JagernauthEventually settles into a dull routine much like the dissatisfied characters of the film, which will make for an easily dissatisfied audience.
- 20The DissolveNick SchagerThe DissolveNick SchagerNever less than predictable and all-too-often torpid, it’s a work that filters roiling true life through stolid formula.
