DUELING CRITICS

"Pop culture is now so drenched in glib 'dark' thrills that it's rare, and purifying, to encounter a movie with a true feel for the sinister...A startling coming-of-age drama"

- Owen Gleiberman

"A conceit on a number of levels...[Director Pawel] Pawlikowski and his actors give us a little of everything and therefore something perilously close to nothing"

- Ty Burr
