Reception
The film was met with very negative reviews and was a box office bomb.[3][4][5][6] Swedish film critic Gunnar Rehlin in Variety wrote "Pic feels tepid and devoid of emotional involvement. Due to the use of v.o., the two leads never get a real chance to convey their characters' emotions."[7]
