Reception
editGunnar Rehlin wrote in Variety that the film was "striking to look at, but lacking the passion to make the central story convince."[2] It received a score of 2/5 from Patrik Andersson in Göteborgs-Posten.[3] Hynek Pallas also gave the film a generally negative review for Svenska Dagbladet, criticizing Edwards' use of "oblique camera angles and black-and-white sequences" and the lead character's backstory. However, he found the sex scenes compelling.[4] One positive review came from Dagens Nyheter film critic Helena Lindblad, who described the film as a "gripping tale of love, class, sex and death."[5]
