12/31/02
A simmering psychological drama in which the bursts of sudden violence are all the more startling for the slow buildup that has preceded them.

Top CriticSkin/Heart feels infused with an open-minded spirit, an anger that feels clean instead of gaudy.

The film does a solid job of slowly, steadily building up to the climactic burst of violence.
06/29/02
With an obvious rapport with her actors and a striking style behind the camera, Hélène Angel is definitely a director to watch.
