Cannes. Suburban Mayhem.

The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw calls Paul Goldman's Un Certain Regard entry, Suburban Mayhem [site], an "icily nasty movie that, incidentally, exploits the sadistic potential of text messages."

"If you're going to spend 89 minutes with a wild animal, something about that character should engage or intrigue you," counters the Hollywood Reporter's Kirk Honeycutt. "Nothing here does."

For Variety's Jay Weissberg, "What starts as a predictably enjoyable ride through the hothouse world of suburbia unexpectedly loses steam half way through."
