- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A brilliantly written black comedy in the tradition of 'To Die For' and 'Flirting With Disaster'"
-
"The kind of daring feature that doesn't open every Friday at the local multiplex; its frank, sometimes politically incorrect approach towards the act and politics of sex is refreshing"
-
"Consistently clever without ever being funny. The film is so in love with its own carefully calibrated outrageousness that it doesn't bother to give its characters any depth"
