Strong supporting actors ... give performances that serve to make their co-stars or the material look worse.

Begins to feel like a coffeehouse conversation about a movie that's all about meanings and motif rather than substance and characters.

Tabak's directing debut is carefully plotted, well acted and surprisingly free of cheap thrills.

The only reason I watched the movie is for Jeff Goldblum because asides from his performance there's nothing to see in this boring drama.

I found this movie more comedic than anything else. It's like the most serious Comedy I've ever seen.
