To find a film which crosses the frontiers of different audience expectations, which is unassuming and yet rigorous in its intellectual stance, and pleasurable and provocative at the same time, is rare indeed. Go to Full Review Lisa Vine Spare Rib 09/20/2021
Riddles of The Sphinx has the rare quality of being able to put over a complex subject articulately. For me its value lay in its immediacy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/28/2017 Felt the rhythms and mysteries of living the feminine. Interesting structure. Felt like a life lived by the end, a definite journey. See more 02/06/2014 Had to watch this avant-garde film for my "women and gender in film" class. Tough to watch when your a little tired. But the visuals are very interesting. But seems too much like a freshman in college student film. Not so much avant-garde but he filmmaker attempts to keep us watching with the colors and visuals but the film is too dull. See more 10/01/2012 Mulvey succeeds in getting her point across well enough to an audience that understands and sympathizes her feminist rhetoric, but that's about it. See more Read all reviews
