Top CriticWhat really sink the film are the script's reductive, outdated psychological implications ... and its clumsy melodramatics.

Bo ... in Stévenin's smirky, callow performance often comes off as more irritating than sympathetic.

...it's instantly forgettable, which is an impressive feat given how endless the film feels.

Bo [Robinson Stévenin] is the cliché of the self-hating victim.
