Page's direction undermines more than the story. As the heroine Debby, Kathleen Quinlan conveys the fear, isolation, anger and occasional joy of the schizophrenic convincingly, but Page's failure to do more than superficially explain why she feels these emotions makes it difficult to empathize with what could have been a superlative job of acting. Page's attempt to depict Debby's fantasy world, to which she retreats from an unpleasant reality, further emphasizes his direction's shallowness.

Although the town is suffering flom some underlying racial rancor and tension, relations on the surface remain cordial. Gay Head is a small town and most of its inhabitants would like to remain on at least speaking terms with their neighbors. A negotiated settlement must take into account certain justifiable protests on both sides. One look at the shops that pack the breathtaking cliffs gives a convincing argument for the whites' concern for conservation...
