Reviews

Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times on February 3, 2006 that the film did not rely on formulas or simple answers. He offers all the elements of a love story, but also respects his characters and treats racial issues in a more complex way than one might expect.

The editors of Rotten Tomatoes wrote that the film seriously addresses the problems of relationships between people of different races. Its "authentic attraction" and "seductive romance" would develop as naturally as the plot.
