Reception
[edit | edit source]Dave Kehr of The New York Times wrote that while the film "falls back on a screenwriting convention for its unfortunately abrupt ending", it "suggests" that Marconi "possesses a talent and a sensibility likely to flower in the future."[1] Frank Schenk of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that while the film's exploration of the shifting nature of sexuality is "sometimes provocative", it is "ultimately undone by its pretensions".[2] Maitland McDonagh of TV Guide rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film is "sometimes fascinating, other times just infuriating."[3]
Scott Foundas of Variety called the film a "step backward" for Marconi.[4] The film received negative reviews in Film Journal International, The Village Voice and Video Store Magazine.[5][6][7]
