“..tawdry yet stilted historical noir..”
by J. Hoberman [Village Voice]
“..still a fascinating investigation into Egoyan's typical themes..”
by Pam Grady [Reel]
“..sexy, tantalizing, and befuddling noir murder mystery..”
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly]
“..promises more than it finally delivers...”
by Keith Uhlich [Slant Magazine]

by Paul Myers [Georgia Straight]
“..never quite becomes much more than a mildly diverting period piece...”
by David Nusair [Reel Film Reviews]
“..It's compelling in the way many B-movies are - cheap, sleazy, and lacking the depth..”
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews]
“..isn't over-the-top..”
by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone]
“..is too serious by half, especially when it comes to solving its own mysteries...”
by Jesse Hassenger [Filmcritic]

by Alexis Tuminello [The Cinema Source]
“..delves with considerable wit into the ugly side of the entertainment industry...”
by Ray Bennett [The Hollywood Reporter at Cannes]

by Jan Stuart [Newsday]
