Preachy and humorless, Eban and Charley shocks only by the quality of its numbing solipsism.

There's not enough judgment being rendered by the filmmaker, who seems happy enough to portray his movie's relationship sympathetically because, after all, these things happen.

Might best be described as preaching to a sparse congregation, or else Mr. Bolton is simply out to bore people into submission.

Affectingly understated.
