Reviews
“PSYCHOLOGICALLY RESONANT, VISUALLY TRANSCENDENT... Few films have looked as longingly, as relentlessly, and as cruelly at a woman; few onscreen gazes at an actress have so perfectly crystallized an integral and unique style of performance; and few performances have so precisely defined a director’s world view, even unto the vanishing point. He could, and did, go no further.”
– Richard Brody, The New Yorker
“As sour a vision of male-female interaction as VERTIGO... thrilling to watch, lush, cool, and oddly moving.”
