David Stratton:
Where the film falters is in the closing scenes, when Celia suddenly turns a gun on her hated uncle, the local policeman, and shoots him dead. To succeed in this dramatic shift away from family cinema, the film needed a treatment that would have been consistently far blacker than it is ... David Stratton: 370.
