United States | IndieWire | "The kind of film you feel you need to shower after seeing, it just might have been Fuller’s finest hour" | POS |
United States | San Francisco Chronicle | "This is one of the wisest, slickest and most unorthodox feminist films one could ever hope to see" | POS |
United Kingdom | Empire | "Tragic and tender Fuller classic. Way ahead of its time (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" | POS |
United States | Chicago Reader | "What can I tell you about a film that begins with a bald prostitute beating a man unconscious with her handbag? Except that it's undoubtedly Sam Fuller's vilest, sleaziest masterpiece" | POS |
United States | Vulture | "'The Naked Kiss' is a gut punch with the rhythm of a dream" | POS |
