Cast

Reception

The film received mixed reviews. Angus Wolfe Murray of Eye For Film gave 4 and half out of 5 stars and said "The production values of Colin Spector's film are terrific, matched by his acerbic script and pin-sharp performances. The problem, if indeed it is a problem, remains the party itself. Sane men would certify themselves rather than stay another minute."[4]
