J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Essentially this is Fatal Attraction with the gender perspective reversed, which may constitute some sort of progress but hardly obviates the castration anxiety at the root of the story. Mar 25, 2020 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times So no, it's not a sly, dark, romantic deadpan comedy after all. It's dark all right - but it looks more like a train than a light at the end of the tunnel. Rated: 3/4 Dec 1, 2017 Full Review April Wolfe Village Voice Normally, I'm eager for a story about a woman humiliating herself for love, but the tone of this fanciful film at times struck me as all wrong. Oct 6, 2017 Full Review Leigh Monson Substream Magazine A short, simple film that nails its aesthetic and provides a compelling tale of how someone psychologically unwell can confuse obsession for love. Oct 1, 2020 Full Review Elissa Suh MUBI The film bestows us the opportunity for dialogue, as the best of cinema and many titles often do. Feb 27, 2020 Full Review Matt Oakes Silver Screen Riot A psychedelic 70s exploitation look and feel gives Thirst Street a dreamy Euro-Trash quality. Rated: B+ Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 2.3. I am not sure if you are supposed to feel bad for the girl or the guy but in the end I’m leaning much more towards the guy. Despite his obvious flaws you can tell her tried his best to be patient and as nice as possible with a psychotic woman Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/20 Full Review Audience Member There's not much in the way of bruising insight into the makeup of a deteriorating personality, but for a compact spin through well-trod fields of lustful, sad-mad blindness, "Thirst Street" has its share of disreputably perverse pleasures. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Dynamite film! Saw it at Tribeca and loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
