- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Vibrating with humanity, it's a potent portrait of love, ranging from the purely carnal to the impurely sublime."
-
"A triumph for all concerned, it is especially so for the multitalented Chereau"
-
"It isn't the sex that shocks here, it's the chilling core of loneliness. Intimacy dares to cut deep, and its daring gets to you"
-
"A raw, wounding, powerfully acted film, and you cannot look away from it."
-
"A tortured reflection on the complex relationship between love, sex, desire and obsession"
