Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Ricci is convincingly terrified in a film that's never scary enough to justify her performance. Jun 21, 2018 Full Review John Higgins Starburst Thanks to Ricci's excellent performance as Lauren and Cusack's balanced supporting role, Disjointed will certainly find favour with fans of classic Canadian cult offerings. Rated: 7/10 Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film [Christina] Ricci is impressive, however, working hard with what she's got to create a character we can believe in even when what's happening to and around her stretches credulity. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 24, 2019 Full Review Alex Arabian Film Inquiry Distorted leaves viewers with a disjointed, unoriginal story, a made-for-TV feel, and underwhelming thrills, with the only saving graces being the presence of Ricci and Cusack. Jan 19, 2019 Full Review Niall Browne Movies in Focus A frustratingly terrible paranoia thriller, Distorted manages to waste a potentially intriguing premise and the star power of Christina Ricci and John Cusack. Rated: 1/5 Jan 19, 2019 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com "Distorted" plays one too many tricks, and its casting is abysmal. Rated: D Jun 28, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This was an absolutely horrible movie. I like Ricci and Cusak but this was a real stinker. The cartoon like drawing of the apartment building was a joke. Cusak's character was trying way too hard to be mysterious but it didn't work. And everything about Ricci's character was cliche. Nothing redeeming about this effort. I want my hour and 26 minutes back Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Steve D Everyone seems to be going through the motions. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Cristian s Diferente, es lenta y va por el lado de las "conspiraciones/la protagonista esta loca" cosa que si no te atrapa desde el principio se puede hacer insufrible. Aunque la historia sea mas o menos la escenografía y la actuación de Christina Ricci la hacen bastante zafable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Luis d 40 minutes of listless ramp-up...arrgh. Do youself a favor and watch Sliver (1993) instead. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/23 Full Review Jeffrey P Slow burn suspense horror that is well made and has its focus in the right place. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review Devils A Not even the great actress Christina Ricci can save this movie, it's so boring and contrite that I could just barely hang on until the end! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
