Reception

The Age called it "an enigmatic, might-have-been story of Adultery His, Adultery Hers in middle class Canberra, it is peopled with cold, unreachable characters who deliver Taylor's stacatto script - it barely contains a sentence of over three words - in deliberately stagey monotones."

The Sydney Morning Herald called it "more interesting than it was successful... nevertheless, it was a film well worth screening and watching."
