Chicago Reader
On the very edge of coherence -- but I find its decadent erotic poetry irresistible. - 50
New York Post
It's moody and atmospheric. But with the exception of a few cool moments that remind you of Ferrara at his best, it's dull and written with little attention paid to basic storytelling. - 50
Los Angeles Times
No place for literalists, but Ferrera fans should be pleased with this tale. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
Quirky acting combines with Ferrara's dark, brooding style to give the throwaway story a noteworthy measure of dramatic and cinematic interest. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
A painfully claustrophobic picture. - 30
The New York Times
Affirms that soft-core porn is alive and well in cyberpunk. - 30
L.A. Weekly
The first two-thirds are turgid enough; in the last, Ferrara begins replaying scenes we've already seen earlier in the film. - 20
Village Voice
What's on the screen is so dreadful that it inspires the ontological question "What are films and why is this not one of them?"
