L'atmosfera e la trama sono totalmente offuscate da una lentezza tragicomica nei dialoghi, esasperati da lunghissimi primi piani sui volti dei protagonisti che cercano di riempire interi minuti. La sensazione è di uno stile ben chiaro e preciso, che qui però viene portato ad un livello tale da sembrare un semplice esercizio per l'esagerazione. Specialmente quando a farlo sono attori meno quotati, visibilmente forzati.

As always with Ozpetek, we are given a beautiful picture, mysterious, dark, sensual, alluring - after all, the film is dedicated to Naples. The plot is intriguing, if not entirely credible - but then, that's not really the point, I guess. And the music!! Unsettling, full of longing and passion, just like the film itself.

Los Angeles Times

By the time the noirish thriller "Naples in Veils" draws you into its enigmatic web - which is pretty much from the start - you're sufficiently invested to enjoyably coast through the rest of this hypnotic, if ambiguous, Italian import.

Ben Kenigsberg

New York Times

Visually and musically, "Naples in Veils" does little to conjure a sensation of passion or delirium. All that's left, in this case, is a self-nullifying plot.

Seattle Times

The sensual, gorgeously filmed psychological thriller roots around in the hidden corners of the titular city, digs into long-buried family secrets, and weaves a tense, noir-inspired narrative trap as Adriana pursues the case and begins to unravel.

Rated: 3.5/4

Has a mystique about it that entertains. More Brian de Palma-ish than Hitchcock-ish.

Rated: 6/10

Everything one wants in an Italian movie, dreams, beautiful people, luscious pictures and, of course, lies, lies, lies.
