Kristi Mitsuda, LA Weekly: FAIR
"...sets lofty goals for itself but fails to find an original entry point or live up to its objectives.... the naturalism of the nudity doesn't gel with the otherwise overdrawn aping of silent cinema aesthetics, and so it gives off a stilted rather than sexual aura."

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: GOOD
"...ambitious homage to the pure emotional power of the classic silent cinema.... distant when it should be dynamic, yet still worth the effort. By the time it reaches its bold conclusion it has moved beyond pastiche to come entirely into its own." (See all of Kevin Thomas's reviews...) (Read the full review...)
