Variety Staff Variety Superficial value is all this film has. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The Moon in the Gutter is a sumptuous, dazzlingly photographed melodrama that becomes, alas, relentlessly boring. Rated: 2/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Stephen Schiff Vanity Fair It's suffocatingly serious, stylized, and dull. May 30, 2019 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion An extravagantly elongated trance May 21, 2010 Full Review Marty Mapes Movie Habit Characters with unreadable motives are hard to like, and no amount of atmosphere can help Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 26, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

RAMIRO M Its a cinematographic dream, you'll be hipnitized by the photography , its bot for videoclip audiences or TIKTOK generatios , its good cinema Nasstasja Kinski and Depardieu turrón the screen Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting failure. Gorgeous to look at; hard to swallow. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A visually arresting, delightfully atmospheric, and erotically infused trance, dream, vision, and nightmare. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie started off with unbelievable plot points, overly dramatic acting and dialog that was like a dadaist love poem written by a dim witted teenager. Then it really started to suck. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A depressing movie. Not because of the numerous characters who have led tragic lives (the film doesnt care about them at all), but because the film had so much potential, but in the end amounted to nothing more than incredibly but empty eye candy. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Still my favorite from Beineix and one of my best from the eighties! Can you dream of love and happiness in a dreamy urban netherworld were social barriers are merciless? As said Gerard in the movie: "La chance n'existe pas... (There is no such thing as luck)". The cinematography is stunning and the main actors (G. Depardieu, N. Kinsky & V. Abril) are very good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
