Despite playing to standing ovations at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival and being surrounded by a great deal of early buzz, the film suffered from distribution issues—namely, that it was acquired by a reorganized MGM and not a specialty division. Consequently, it made no more festival appearances, was marketed by MGM as a mainstream romp, and was ignored by most top critics. One of the exceptions was Roger Ebert for the Chicago Sun-Times. who wrote
It opened on 6 screens in the United States on September 23, 1994, and grossed $33,004 in its opening weekend and went on to gross $200,151.
