Metacritic reviews

Clichéd and formulaic.

The bad news is that the characters and situations are platitudes and the story is so heavy-handed that the film is hard to sit through.

Makes little attempt to be credible or original. And the acting is poor.

Misery pile-up.

The whole thing plays like a bad Equity-waiver one-act.

A waste of a talented, earnest cast, this borderline offensive indie, set for an Oct. 2 limited release, shouldn't take up too much valuable theater space before fading away.

This laughably clichéd dive into sexual masochism and hardscrabble survival replaces story with outline and characters with place holders.
