Riese Bernard Autostraddle I simultaneously insist you watch this straight gay film but also fail to recommend it. Mar 29, 2021 Full Review Lisa Kennedy Variety It's tricky deciding what kind of cheese "Deadly Illusions," a diverting thriller starring Kristin Davis and Dermot Mulroney streaming on Netflix, is exactly. Soft and overripe, from the look of it. Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Movies don't come much clunkier than "Deadly Illusions," an unconvincing mishmash of psychodrama and erotic thriller filled with silly plot holes, obvious dialogue, and risibly bad actions and reactions. Mar 18, 2021 Full Review Rebecca Johnson Film Focus Online The movie offers decent performances and a mystery element that makes the over-stretched runtime as engaging as it can be, yet the predictable and tired outcome will leave you wondering whether it was really worth the watch. Rated: 2/5 Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Matthew Turner VODzilla.co A throwback to the 1990s heyday of both the erotic thriller and its close cousin, the Fill-in-the-blank-from-Hell genre. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 25, 2022 Full Review Amanda the Jedi Amanda the Jedi (Youtube) A Lifetime disaster masquerading as a competent thriller. I get the desire for ambiguity but at some point you need to commit to a thread Jul 4, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member It’s a Lifetime movie with nudity. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Regina F Like it! Kept me entertained till the end! I was surprised by such bad reviews( Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Ms E Jarring transitions innit? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Andrew C Barely watchable… clunky and predictable. Acting seemed hollow a lot of the time. Overall quite disappointing. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a bad movie which keeps the viewer interested, I believe if they went in a different direction for the ending this movie could have been much better(focusing on sexual tensions) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/23 Full Review Julio A Tinha potencial de no minimo ser erótico, acaba não sendo nada com um final bizonho.... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
