Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Makes you sit up and take notice, if only for the fine performances of the terrific Judy Davis as his abused mother and Geoffrey Rush as his bitter, angry dad. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Ends up merely treading water. Read more

Akiva Gottlieb, Village Voice: Saddled with a ham-fistedly literal title and copious aesthetic ineptitude. Read more
