- 63New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanGiven the subject matter, the movie is almost fatally lacking in passion.
- 60VarietyDavid RooneyVarietyDavid RooneyDespite its crude, willfully naive style, this comedy of transgression, judgment and revenge becomes steadily more appealing as it progresses.
- 50Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittToo bad the acting is uneven. And the ineptly done English subtitles will have you laughing in all the wrong places.
- 50The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenDoes a fine job of building up a sense of dread as its adulterous relationship gathers steam. So it's all the more disappointing when the movie ultimately collapses with a ridiculous comic ending that leaves you feeling almost as betrayed as its cuckolded husband.
- 50New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoNever rises above the level of a soap opera, although the steamy sex and Lo's abundant nudity might make it worthwhile for some viewers.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterThere's little to distinguish this tale from the countless similar efforts that have preceded it, other than the exoticism of its setting. The performers do manage to bring some life to their characters.
- 10Village VoiceVillage VoiceBarely elevated telenovela.
