Audience Member Have to give it a pass for how lofty, weird but carefully directed it is. This isn't like any of Greenaway's other films in terms of direction and overall composition. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Greenaway's incessant use of screen gimmickry as canvas art adapted to the cinema is a put off making the plot a secondary shadow to his visual chaos. Sex scenes so stylized they become pornography without passion or eroticism make for an extremely boring movie. Thematic brutalizing and humiliation of male characters for its own sake is gratuitously woven into a pointless tawdry fabric. Nothing more than Eurotrash. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting in the beginning, and really ironic, after a while it turns to repetitive and somewhat boring. Greenaway has made better things, to my opinion. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Peter Greenaway's grotesquerie. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite it's protracted length and repetitive nature, Greenway's unclassifiable, luscious, sexual fantasia is offbeat and something of it's own nature which I hope to see again, very soon in other films. Somewhere, Paolo Pasolini is smiling, and so am I. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member So explicit in its sexual content So audacious in its visual So frustratingly byzantine in its narrative that its either doomed to obscurity or destined for cult status Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
