| Film ThreatRon WellsWhat could have been the most boring, unwatchable crawl-up-your-own-asshole picture instead becomes a gripping, searing portrait of a lost soul trying to find her way through life. Stephanie Bennett is amazing. |
| Chicago TribuneJohn PetrakisBennett also co-wrote the script, based loosely on her own experiences, and is the best thing about the film. A physical cross between Holly Hunter and Christine Lahti, she's quite convincing as she tries to figure out what has gone wrong in her personal life - and how she can fix it before it is too late. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanWill take you places you haven't been, and also places you have. |

| San Francisco ExaminerJeffrey M. AndersonTo be influenced chiefly by humanity's greatest shame, reality shows -- reality shows for God's sake! -- is a crime that should be punishable by chainsaw. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezNo film could possibly be more contemptuous of the single female population. |
