Neil Genzlinger, New York Times: POOR "...self-aggrandizing... None of it is convincing; Mr. Schaeffer's acting is shallow (Ms. Brocheré's isn't); and the Shakespearean-tragedy ending stands a good chance of drawing guffaws."(Read the full review...) 223 words, 01/27/12
V.A. Musetto, New York Post: WEAK(cg) "...would play better minus at least half an hour of flab, especially a subplot about Gypsies working the streets of Paris. [Writer/director Eric] Schaeffer should also do something about certain ludicrous plot twists: The final one is especially painful."(Read the full review...) 204 words, 01/27/12

Ronnie Scheib, Daily Variety: FAIR "...may polarize auds, who will judge whether [writer/director/actor Eric] Schaeffer's wit and perception sufficiently balance his operatic self-pity."(Read the full review...) 553 words, 01/26/12
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter: POOR "Director Eric Schaeffer also stars as a down-on-his-luck novelist who makes sparks with a hospice-nurse-by-day, dominatrix-by-night in Paris.... the film completely derails with a melodramatic, 'Romeo and Juliet'-inspired climax that is beyond ludicrous."(Read the full review...) 486 words, 01/26/12
