Reception

Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote that nearly the entire film consists of "overwritten, overacted, visually inert confrontations and monologues." [2]

The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film sometimes feels like a "master class in bad acting" and "would be a dud even if its format hadn't been so overused recently." [1]
