It’s an egghead exercise, both scrambled and undercooked.

Rated: 2/5

Toronto Star

[Atom Egoyan] could have simply filmed his latest Canadian Opera Company remounting of “Salome,” a visceral Bible extrapolation... Instead he chose to make fresh drama out of it, syncing his screen and stage passions to mesmerizing effect.

Rated: 3.5/4

“Seven Veils” feels like a true return to form for Egoyan, almost as if “Salome” has inspired Egoyan’s entire filmography.

Seyfried is sublime in walking the tightrope between impassioned artist and woman-on-the-verge.

Amanda Seyfried puts in a career-best performance... if you love films that play with breaking the boundaries of form... theatre geeks will love it.

Critic's Notebook

All “Seven Veils” offers is the sense of performance, of something reenacted so many times it has been bleached clean.
