C-
"Dark humor, along the lines of "The Honeymoon Killers," gives way to fractured set pieces that gesture toward the film's gratuitous climax, one that's destined to bestow upon it a cult status."

2/4
"Rather than imitate the postmodernism chic of
Far from Heaven
or the parodic silliness of
Die, Mommie, Die!
, Kalin settles for a nondescript style whose sole function is to stay out of Moore's way."

"It is very pretty, and it feigns elegance well, but it is tawdry and shallow."

2/4
"Kalin is a very brave and honest filmmaker (and plenty astute), but his subject matter argues that some stories need not be told."

"When [Moore] embarrasses her son by forcing him to read a passage from de Sade's
Justine
(introduction by Georges Bataille!), ... it's a potent familial cruelty to place alongside the best of Davis and Crawford."
House Next Door
Keith Uhlich
3/5
"This film has plenty of strong performances and provocative themes, but is too episodic to come together."
