"Berry gives a riveting performance, but as a deeply decent man trapped in a hell of his own making, Del Toro gives the kind of career performance Berry gave in MONSTER'S BALL."
New York Daily News
"A movie about loss and mourning and bottomless sadness. But its very production is, on another level, a reason to celebrate."
Newark Star-Ledger
"Harnesses the talents of stars Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro in ways that ultimately make us sit up and take notice."
