Reviews

Derek Adams wrote in Time Out magazine, London, the " quasi- film noir" tell a " miserably confused " love story. The characters were " monochrome ".

Scott Russon wrote in Empire Magazine, the film was a " discordant mixture of comedy and trickery ," which - as the main character - have problems with it, to reveal their true identity. Hurt Outsmart particularly " fascinating," but his role was the " silly love story " subordinate. Ricci was miscast as an object of desire, but its strong representation equal it out. The " pathetic " character of Frank is the greatest weakness ( "grave handicap" ) of the film.
