Reviews
A minor moody character study, Burns' third film is a misguided foray into the woman's picture, only partially evoking the dead-end-small-town life of a working-class waitress (Lauren Holly, Burns' girlfriend)
Despite its thinness, No Looking Back is a step forward for Burns. Let's hope he takes the title to heart.
Explores the ways relationships can serve as spurs to personal growth and transfomation.
