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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
April Wolfe Village Voice 10/06/2017

Despite his obvious flaws you can tell her tried his best to be patient and as nice as possible with a psychotic woman See more 01/05/2018 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.
