Geoff Andrew Time Out [Altman] controls things beautifully, proffering credible biographical reasons for her inner disturbances, and borrowing shock effects from the thriller genre to underline the terrifying nature of her predicament. Jan 14, 2019 Full Review Pauline Kael The New Yorker Images is not remotely an example of hack work -- it's an example of a conceptual failure. Jan 14, 2019 Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Reader It looks complicated, but it's just confused (1972). Jan 14, 2019 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof 'Images' confirms the decade's turn towards pessimism after the sixties, even demystifying the well-being aura associated with the countryside. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4.5/5 May 29, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Images is a masterpiece of mental and sexual disquietude. Rated: 4/5 Aug 25, 2020 Full Review David N. Butterworth La Movie Boeuf Committed contributions from York (acting), Zsigmond (photography), Williams (score), and Yamash'ta (sound design) amount to little more than a jangling jumble of hyperbolic head games. Rated: 2/4 Mar 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D doesn't succeed at anything it is trying to do. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Brad P Robert Altman's only foray into horror filmmaking is a tense psychological drama Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/03/23 Full Review marco b A woman (Susannah York) writing a children's book is harassed by phone calls and visits. Her and her husband decide to take a trip to the countryside, but visions plague her. She results to drastic measures to ensure these things end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review william k Artsy psychological horror-drama with great Vilmos Zsigmond cinematography and a memorable performance by Susannah York overstretches its predictable doppelgänger motive and disappoints at the end. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Though ready and willing to be a bit derivative, existing under the thin veil of being horror, it speaks to its audience in incisive, intimate tones of shock and confusion. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A woman with mental health issues is surrounded by men who are only too willing to take advantage of her. The basic story is interesting, and it's well-directed, but the overall effect left me cold. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
