 "The ancient Eastern tradition is demonstrably beneficial for both mind and body, but its execution can be so boring and its teachers so painfully earnest." |

 "...if you can handle the glacial pacing and lack of dialogue, there is a certain squirmy satisfaction to watching this well-worn story of love, cruelty and madness play out..." |

 "...a witless homage to the 'Saw' franchise and its ilk.... If you've never seen or heard of reality television, this film may indeed blow your mind with its on-the-nose moralizing..." |

 "...has a handful of genuinely funny one-liners about sex. Unfortunately, it undermines them by dropping the word 'vagina' enough times to make Sarah Silverman blush." |

 "...compelling and comprehensive.... it's perhaps not surprising the film runs to rather extreme lengths for a feature documentary, clocking in at 2 1/2 hours." |

 "...stylish, unoriginal... Director Eran Creevy ('Shifty') just delivers one straight-faced gunfight after another, signifying nothing." |

 "What starts out as unpromising shaky-cam antics quickly turns dark and compelling... puts the majority of today's mainstream 'scary' movies to shame..." |

 "Mira Sorvino brings a spark, but neither she nor Patti LuPone, in an amusing cameo, can overcome the clockwork-like plod to the end." |

 "...a worthy, if familiar, story for a documentary. It's unfortunate that director Whitney Sudler-Smith seems to have spent more time on his own hair than his interview prep." |

 "...clever, compassionate... comes from a perspective you virtually never see in American films: Adolescent girls obsess about sex, too, and not just how to fend it off." |

 "Why should I care? No pressing reason, I guess -- but it's a nice, mud-free way to spend a bit of time rocking out in the rain with the Scots." |

 "Director Céline Sciamma ('Water Lilies') draws wonderfully natural performances from her young cast, and doesn't shy away from an uncomfortable or pensive silence." |

 "...boasts some original, amusing and disgusting variations on genre lore. It's a low-budget cousin of 'Shaun of the Dead' (if Shaun were undead)." |
