- 80Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasSet in a noirish, gleaming Montreal, this handsome, captivating, well-paced and stylish film is fully realized in every aspect.
- 70L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyL.A. WeeklyErnest HardyThe cast is uniformly good, but Isabelle Blais especially stands out as Natalie.
- 60Time OutEric HynesTime OutEric HynesShared tragedy can bind together the most unlikely of people. Movies often make too much of that truism, but surprisingly committed performances from actors like these can still make it feel like something meaningful.
- This debut feature by the Canadian director Deborah Chow is so artistically well-intentioned and earnest in its ambitions that you can almost forgive the banality of its every scene.
- 30Village VoiceVillage VoiceDeborah Chow's ridiculously implausible yet still predictable tale of guilt and redemption is so bipolar in tone that when it's not a more linear rip-off of Guillermo Arriaga's grim and gritty melodramas (21 Grams, Babel), it's the kind of quirky indie romance that made Braff's name.
