Fans of those seamy places where art and smut intersect, this movie is a nasty little treat.

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

A trashy treat coated in a high-art gloss, “The Attachment Diaries” gleefully kneads melodrama, noir, horror and sexual perversion into a pathological romance between two deeply damaged women.

There's a fearlessness to The Attachment Diaries that sees it power ahead without letting us pause to take a breath, and its determination and originality explode on the screen in something altogether wild

Daily Grindhouse

What makes Attachment Diaries perverse is just the same thing that makes it an irresistible watch: these women perform acts and display their bodies in ways that directly counter social expectations.

Willamette Week

The elegant black-and-white images of Carla’s fragile high heels being buffeted by rain may suggest an oh-so-tasteful art film, but The Attachment Diaries, which is set in 1970s Argentina, is something freakier, trashier and lustier.

Rated: 3/4

WBAI Radio

Dreary Depravity Noir. And while this odious banquet of lesbian torture porn may not thrill everyone in the audience - there is a distinct compatibility with the mass consciousness homicidal horrors of endless wars those audiences are living through.
