-
"A disconcertingly assured tango between tenderness and brutality."
-
"If the film had been in less-capable hands, the subject matter could have easily lent itself to eye-rolling ridicule, but Huppert and Haneke manage to keep the credibility intact"
-
"A disconcertingly riveting anti-love story."
