MovieWeb Reviews:

"A disappointing start to a film that should've gone north in look and story but headed south into boredom and rehashed plots"

- Matt Sheehan

"This film is sure to cause more controversy. It can either be thought of as strictly fantasy or there can be deeper meanings in the story."

- Francine Brokaw
