 "Has all the complexity and realistic human behavior of an episode of General Hospital."
-- Dave White, IFILM
 "The low-key direction is pleasingly emphatic in this properly intense, claustrophobic tale of obsessive love."
-- Michael Thomson, BBCI FILMS
"It’s sincere to a fault, but, unfortunately, not very compelling or much fun."
-- David Noh, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
"Despite some strong performances, never rises above the level of a telanovela."
-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"Spain's greatest star wattage doesn't overcome the tumult of maudlin tragedy."
-- Laura Kelly, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"Vera's technical prowess ends up selling his film short; he smoothes over hard truths even as he uncovers them."
-- David Ehrenstein, NEW TIMES
"In addition to the overcooked, ham-fisted direction, which has all the actors reaching for the back row, the dialogue sounds like horrible poetry."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER

"Vera has created a provocative, absorbing drama that reveals the curse of a self-hatred instilled by rigid social mores."
-- Kevin Thomas, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"A Lifetime movie about men."
-- A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES
"The sort of picture in which, whenever one of the characters has some serious soul searching to do, they go to a picture-perfect beach during sunset."
-- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"With the film's striking ending, one realizes that we have a long way to go before we fully understand all the sexual permutations involved."
-- Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER
"Might best be enjoyed as a daytime soaper."
-- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST
"Extremely well acted by the four primary actors, this is a seriously intended movie that is not easily forgotten."
-- Patrick Z. McGavin, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"Apparently reassembled from the cutting-room floor of any given daytime soap."
-- Dennis Lim, VILLAGE VOICE
"The director explores all three sides of his story with a sensitivity and an inquisitiveness reminiscent of Truffaut."
-- Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"Tell yourself it's OK to be jealous. Go ahead and mock poor Alberto."
-- Charles Ealy, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
