Too dank and familiar an expedition.
A story bent on melodrama and borderline sadism.
It's a moderately creepy, man-beyond- civilization exercise that can't decide whether it's arty or scary, and thus ends up being neither.
We begin hoping the ghost of Tennessee Williams will jump out of the bush and inform these characters that it takes more than wounded people with dark secrets, annoying insects and dripping moisture to make something of a tale like this.
Fans of Jungle Gothics would do better to let this one slip back into the underbrush.
Few actresses can deliver intensity like McTeer, and it's that distinctive, all-purpose stare coupled with her sheer physicality that once again dominates the story.
Shrewd and astute, this is a film with a power that sneaks up on you and lingers long after it's over in a way you can't easily shake.
introspectively good
Tropical tripe.
The pace is stultifying, and even though the ensemble looks realistically stinky and sweaty, the stately progression of events mirrors far too well the torpor of the tropics.
An irritating bit of jungle gothic gone bad.
Levring and an excellent cast are lost in the shadow of Conrad and other masters, and their sex-money theme requires a genius of hopelessness like Erich von Stroheim.
