Peter Labuza’s review published on Letterboxd:
Discussed with Kim Morgan in the latest episode of The Cinephiliacs. Radical in so many ways—opening with 20 minutes of silence, a shift from NYC-served kitchen sink realism to a psycho-sexual chamber drama, and Garfien's masterful direction: pushy but not showy, played for silences, and an abstraction of space while letting the camera hang back. Funny to see him as part of the same school as Elia Kazan, because a lot of what works in the direction here is his restraint, while you can imagine Elia letting loose (not necessarily a bad thing, but he couldn't have pulled this movie off).
