A well-written drama of psychological depth but diminishing returns.
The plot simmers along nicely, dipping and weaving between the two storylines with grace and style.
Newcomer Mehdi Norowzian delivers a flawed film that is nonetheless entertaining.
it will have even art house regulars rolling their eyes.
An overheated pot-boiler that plays like ersatz William Faulkner.

Top Critic
A nice, but distant and morose drama that features a nice performance from Joseph Fiennes. More could have been done with it, but it still is worthwhile.
Fiennes plays a man leaving prison. He hopes to turn his life around. His first task is to find, Leo, the boy who has been writing him while in prison.
