Ida Belle Hicks Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com There's more enjoyment to be gained from seeing the picture with little advance preparation. Nov 24, 2020 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald It's a superbly creepy thriller, with universal themes...An essential movie in anyone's canon. Sep 13, 2018 Full Review THR Staff Hollywood Reporter Direction by George Cukor is ever a display of fine craftsmanship. He utilizes small mosaics of sharp characterization in building to his climax and works in each facet faultlessly. This is the job for which Cukor admirers have been waiting. May 4, 2017 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com If you haven't yet seen "Gaslight," you are in for a rare treat. You'll certainly be keenly aware of other's attempts at leading you down a path of self-doubt. Rated: FIVE STARS Dec 5, 2023 Full Review Jenn Adams Bloody Disgusting Gaslight hit theaters 78 years ago, but Gregory’s tactics are all too familiar today, an intimate and terrifying version of the large-scale manipulation we see all around us. Rated: B+ Feb 18, 2023 Full Review Jennifer O’Callaghan PopMatters Gaslight, wherein Ingrid Bergman’s character’s perception flickers between reality and insanity, endures in our time of extremes.

d m #NotRecommended 4/10 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review himanshika i *Gaslight* falls short with an amateurish storyline, poor acting, and outdated narration akin to the old TV show *CID*. The film's characters lack depth, the pacing is off, and the tonal inconsistencies make it difficult to engage. Overall, it’s a disappointing cinematic experience with little redeeming value. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review James G very underrated movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Nathan T Gaslight is brilliant. A classic. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review John S Infuriating, but coherent. The ending saves it. Or does it? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Alec C A disturbing look at the damaging effects that lies and manipulation can leave on the mind! Abuse can come in many forms, as shown when a man tortures his wife by convincing her that she has gone insane. Shocking, twisted and thought-provoking, we watch and wonder what is the truth and what is a lie that people tell us! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
