| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansVan Der Beek's turn as the conscience-free Sean is a revelation. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeIf you undertake this movie, don't judge it as it goes along. That won't work. It's a film that demands to be seen its entirety before its impact can be felt. Sad, shattering, and unpleasant, it's too vital a work to be ignored. |
| L.A. WeeklyMark OlsenIt's so playful, wicked and unseemly, by the time you realize that the actual plot of this brilliantly sordid satire hasn't started, the party is already over. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekWill make your eyes ache while offering little compensatory insight or emotional contact...a cold, crass exhibitionist exercise without heart or soul. |
| The Film YapNick RogersIt's an outstanding film, clearly stamped with some bravura filmmaking techniques, an impeccable soundtrack and a stereotype-shattering performance from James Van Der Beek. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifforda cruelly funny twist on teen comedy packed with inventive cinematic tricks and an ironically killer soundtrack |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanOne of the most unconventional and conspicuously innovative cinematic treats of the year. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyWhen a movie is described by some critics as morally repellent and by others as innovative and brilliant, it means at the very least that it's controversial and touching a nerve in the collective consciousness. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaWill either fascinate or infuriate you, sometimes within the same moment--and it's difficult imagining the film working any better if it did not. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe nonstop artifice ultimately proves tiresome, with the surface histrionics failing to compensate for the paper-thin characterizations and facile situations. |
