Sometimes transcends its predictability. But at two and a half hours, 'sometimes' isn't really often enough. Nov 19, 2004 | Rating: 3/5

Trojan's direction is capable, and Asen Sopov's dark-hued cinematography is even better than that. The only thing missing is an appreciation for drama that does more than deliver the expected. Oct 15, 2004 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Here's a film that manages to tell its tale without pandering, without cheap melodrama, without gimmicks and without big-name stars. Instead, it simply develops its characters and lets the drama unfold naturally. Dec 10, 2004 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…
