Cambridge Day

compared to the far more engrossing, brutal and unrelenting “Irreversible” (2002) because both have extended imagery of unblinking femicide, but the depiction here of men using women’s bodies as a battleground for their repressed emotions feels redundant

Rated: 2/4

Jennie Kermode

Eye for Film

Keys in to the ordinariness of certain kinds of horror and the ease with which they can take root in a society in which many men teeter on the edge of a moral abyss.

Rated: 5/5

AWFJ.org

... the references are heavy-handed and the message muddy. ... Instead of dramatic tension, we’re left with the unsavory feeling of male characters working out anger and daddy issues around dead women. I’ll pass.

Andrea Chase

Killer Movie Reviews

A horror film as cold-blooded as the serial killer it depicts on a rampage through Calvados, France, and as cold-hearted as the father whose sins are visited in abundance upon two brothers.

Rated: 4/5

Battleship Pretension

As predictable as Armand’s actions become once the film cements who he is, Reggiani keeps him volatile, riding the line right between being amiable enough to believe he could get away with it and violent enough that he could tear down anyone at any time.
