- 50TV Guide MagazineKen FoxTV Guide MagazineKen FoxThe film is at odds with itself, trying to present transgendered characters as resourceful and tough as nails while the plot habitually reduces them to traumatized masochists and helpless victims.
- 40L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyL.A. WeeklyErnest HardyWhat really sink the film are the script's reductive, outdated psychological implications (molestation leads to queerness/transsexualism) and its clumsy melodramatics.
- 30The New York TimesDave KehrThe New York TimesDave KehrMr. Girod is a fish out of water in the after-hours clubs and deserted industrial districts that constitute the sexual underworld of Brussels. His film feels more like what one would see from the top of a double-decker tourist bus than the work of someone who has immersed himself in a sexual subculture and its particular values.
- 25Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittDull despite its suspense-driven story.
