The film premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival on 6 June 1999.
Merle Bertrand of Film Threat called the film "provocative and gorgeous to look at" yet "sullen and sluggish".[1] Eddie Cockrell of Variety wrote that the "fine work" of Fox, Curry and Bruton are "undercut" by "unfocused" castmates and David's "ambitious scope".[2]
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."[3] Sarah Hepola of The Austin Chronicle called the film "all splash and flash and unfortunately, little else".[4] Chris Riemenschneider of the Austin American-Statesman wrote that the film "depresses and numbs more than it opens any cans of worms".[5]
