This rather Hitchcockian smalltown thriller is a typically impressive psychological study in various forms of obsession. Sanders is both superb and unusually touching as the shy, naive designer who falls for Raines; Fitzgerald [is] the sister he lives with, a scheming hypochondriac so possessive of her brother she'll do anything to wreck his budding romance. (...) the overall effect is still gripping, intelligent, and oddly critical of petit bourgeois aspirations. (timeout.com)
