Reception

Richard Corliss of Time liked the film, claiming "... this cool, handsome thriller proceeds with an elliptical elegance." Others, however, have not been as kind, as Elvis Mitchell's review in The New York Times reveals.

Paul Tatara of CNN favorably reviewed the film, describing it as "stylish but anemic".

The film won the 1999 Grand Prize of European Fantasy Film in Silver at the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film.
