Reception

According to Diabolique magazine "The main reason to watch it is Rialson, who has to carry the whole movie on her shoulders and is very impressive... she’s very natural on screen, comfortable with her body, believable in the role and sexy as hell, although she doesn’t get to show off her comic ability, so effective in later films."
