Glenn Kenny New York Times 04/25/2019
Even at a terse 76 minutes, "Queen of Diamonds" is not an easy film. But it's an essential one. Go to Full Review Dave Giannini InSession Film 02/23/2024
The visuals are impressive, but not in a shocking, bombastic way. Queen of Diamonds is pure hypnosis on film. Go to Full Review Erika Balsom Cinema Scope 02/07/2020
Queen of Diamonds-refreshingly, vitally, radically-is part of another women's cinema, one that knows that any feminism worthy of the name cannot be grounded in an ideology of individual achievement... Go to Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry 05/08/2019
In the years that have passed since its initial release, Menkes' perfectly crafted images and soundscapes have lost none of their bleak poetry. Go to Full Review Sarah Resnick 4Columns 04/26/2019
In Queen of Diamonds, Menkes offers a trance-inducing tour of an overdeveloped city-a stand-in for our overdeveloped country-by fixing her camera precisely on the castoffs of conspicuous consumption. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 06/14/2011

In this interesting, feminist indie from Nina Menkes, we get a complex portrait of a woman who may be both a victim and onlooker. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/13/2021 This is a movie that takes its time, more about ennui mood and finding art in the ordinary and tacky glitz than plot. There's a long scenes lingering on a building that looks run-down, for instance. The longer the camera lingers, the more we can see it as a kind of Mondrian art. Many such scenes like this. If it's action you're looking for, this ain't it. See more Read all reviews
