The film is intelligent, sensitive and in its own uniquely quiet way quite a delicious treat.

A well-done portrait of a person who has to come to grips with the fact that love, while a many-splendoured thing, is also extremely unpredictable.

Those looking for an earnest depiction (and one that doesn’t wallow in the seemingly inherent ‘leering’ of similar films), it’s probably worthy of a look.

Powerful film that beautifully choreographs the potencies of sexual desire in a woman who has put too much emphasis upon her mind.

When compared to such incisive lesbian dramas as Lianna and Desert Hearts, Rozema's effort seems flat and banal.

It is so focused on its own boldness, its dare-to-shock sensuality (the film got an NC-17 from the MPAA, but is being released unrated), that nothing else comes through.

Camille's motivation is a complete mystery to us.

Rozema is a fabulist with a strong visual sense, and she creates a distinctive, enclosed world to illustrate Camille's odyssey.
