Reviews
Chris Allison wrote on www.screenonline.org.uk that the film reinterpreted the social experiments and the spread of new religions of the 1960s. However, the group members would live more comfortably than those in the 1960s and use such things as cell phones. The film offers the usual visual flair for Poliakoff, such as the “expressionistic” use of red.
Rotten Tomatoes editors wrote that Jeremy Northam was "excellent as always" . Joely Richardson, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Anna Friel were also mentioned from the “impressive” cast.
