Four Minutes.

"A women-behind-bars plot seething with lesbianism, incest, hanging and catfights - on paper, at least, Four Minutes promises more fun than a Roger Corman marathon," writes Jeannette Catsoulis in the New York Times. But "this award-winning melodrama from Chris Kraus could not possibly take itself more seriously."

"If watching tender body parts smashed against panes of glass and set on fire makes you queasy, stay away," warns Julia Wallace in the Voice. "If Nazi allusions and yearnings make you uncomfortable, stay far away.... The milieu is predictably drab, but the relationship between the two women is as poignant as the Schubert impromptu to which it unfolds."
