Cast
Reception Ronnie Scheib of Variety lamented about the film's shortcomings by saying, "Alternately gaining and losing focus, pic often slips its narrative moorings only to regroup and plunge back into more-or-less linear storytelling. Exhausting if haunting pilgrimage never quite transcends the aridness of its premise, indicating meager prospects commercially."
