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.

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.

Brent McKnight

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.

Rated: 8/10

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.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
