	Media	Author	Review
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"The story is more glum than seductive -- offering surprising sexual encounters, yes, but too little of the slow burn and psychological depth that might have made [this] concept (...) get under one's skin."
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"Serviceable but uninspired (...) [it] sends its characters to their doom on schedule without stirring much sense of tragedy or emotional involvement."
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"The striking cinematography and rich production design (...) are not enough to mitigate the fact that a suspenseful saga grows tedious and even occasionally ridiculous. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Kyle Smith New York Post	"Your average episode of 'Days of Our Lives' is less soapy (and performed with more restraint). (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"It's a moralistic story, one that doesn't quite suit the modern exuberance of Charlie Stratton's cast. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
