| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsA tawdry tale which suggests that in the Internet Age, if you're contemplating suicide but can't quite summon up the nerve to do yourself in, you might surf S&M chat rooms to find a sadist whose fetish corresponds with your masochistic tendencies. |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerMore downer than downloading, in search of an online kinky rendezvous with the grim reaper. Which is apparently just a mouse click away in chatrooms these days, who knew. Adventures in self-mutilation, and sexing up assisted suicide in cyberspace. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonA film that may be too heavy for its own good. Christopher Doyle fans will love it while tolerating the harshness of the story. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIn his arduous, sweaty attempt to be 'provocative,' what Renck does instead is make something transparent and fake. |

| SSG SyndicateSusan GrangerWhy would anyone want to see such utterly dismal, terminally dreary drivel with characters no one cares about? |

| SpoutBlogKarina LongworthDirector Johan Renck essentially builds Nancy and Albert's reality out of an aggregation of overwrought kitsch... and so what seem like occasional lapses into deadpan moments of fantasy aren't always productive in contrast. Heavily art directed for unplea |
