“Tonally and texturally, (director) Rapaport conveys myriad layers of truth, trust, love and lust…A strong but subtle directorial hand.”
— Dennis Harvey,
“Must see film of Outfest.”
— Greg Hernandez, Frontiers Magazine
“A very sexy film about the perils and pleasures of reuniting with one’s ex.”
— Gary Kramer, Frontiers Magazine
“Compelling.”
“Heat is generated in more ways than one in this highly tuned romantic drama. The acting is superb, and the film is beautifully photographed. Director and writer Eldar Rapaport has crafted an intelligent, well-written, realistic circle of characters.”
