    • But where Whale sustains that exquisitely tense mood throughout, Grants film eventually degenerates into a disappointingly conventional coming of age drama with an overbearing score. ( Read More )
    • Lisa Schwarzbaum

      An overdeveloped coming of age potboiler set on the eve of Swazilands independence. ( Read More )
    • The movie is as languid as its tropical setting, and even Hoffmans brief turn as the gangster Meyer Lansky doesnt usher in a fresh breeze. ( Read More )
    • Roger Ebert
