Film Threat
It is a great character study that ranks with Paul Thomas Anderson's epic "Magnolia." - 40
Los Angeles Times

Washington Post
Manages to make sex look like no fun at all. - 30
TV Guide Magazine
Anemic chronicle of money grubbing New Yorkers and their serial loveless hook ups. - 25
Miami Herald
