Reception
Merle Bertrand of Film Threat called the film "provocative and gorgeous to look at" yet "sullen and sluggish". Eddie Cockrell of Variety wrote that the "fine work" of Fox, Curry and Bruton are "undercut" by "unfocused" castmates and David's "ambitious scope".

TV Guide wrote that the film's "febrile subject matter is so dully dramatized that only the most determined viewer will make it to the final revelations." Sarah Hepola of The Austin Chronicle called the film "all splash and flash and unfortunately, little else". Chris Riemenschneider of the Austin American-Statesman wrote that the film "depresses and numbs more than it opens any cans of worms".
