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. Jul 2, 2004 | Rating: C

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. Jul 2, 2004 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

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. Dec 31, 2004 | Full Review…

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. Jul 30, 2004 | Full Review…

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. Jul 9, 2004 | Rating: 2.5/4
