MIGHTY FINE :

“..the mood is generally melodramatic and ends as mushy..”

by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com]

BATTLESHIP :

“..too much uninteresting dialogue about “mysterious” aliens to wade through – plus, oodles of nauseating jingoism and slow-motion heroism..”
by Adam Litovitz [Globe and Mail]

HYSTERIA :

“..for all of its sexual posturing and potential to be truly saucy and unconventional, Tanya Wexler's "Hysteria" is inoffensively pleasant..”
by Kevin Jagernauth [The Palylist]
