- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Visually stunning and breathtakingly frank, but thrill-seekers beware."
-
"Catherine Breillat's pretentious, meandering, self-indulgent portrait of a libidinously deprived young woman is nothing more than pornography tricked out as feminist parable."
-
"Breillat and her brave actors take us places we haven't been. For the audience, as well as Marie, it's a journey that has few signposts."
-
"As pretentious as it is hard-core specific, this fiercely anti-erotic film makes even the chilly 'Eyes Wide Shut' play like 'The Big Easy.'"
-
"The eroticism is powerful, and the documentary candor and directness of the sex scenes make this well worth seeing."
-
"It's like watching a bad update of an Antonioni film."
