Reviews
Desson Howe scoffed in the Washington Post on April 16, 1994 that Hollywood doesn't need good scriptwriters but an exorcist for the plethora of characters with obsession. Lydia should have advised her daughter to do the "bad movie" better.
The lexicon of international films wrote that the story was implausible, that the direction concept was inadequate and that the actors had no opportunity to develop. The "portrait of a bad mother" is "psychologically immature".
background
The film grossed approximately $ 874,000 in US cinemas .
