	Media	Author	Review
		Time Out	"The mixture of feminist politics and Freudian theory would be enough in itself to make the film unusually interesting, but various other elements make it actively compelling"
		Janet Maslin The New York Times	"A technique this ironclad loses its power to provoke (...) Some of the early 360-degree shots (...) are coolly effective."
		Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"An engaging if slightly secondhand and (necessarily) academic stab at avant-garde film"
