A group of decadent men cares for a homeless orphan.

Stephen Holden

New York Times

Overacted, underwritten, murky (some scenes appear to have been filmed by candelight), and essentially implausible, it succeeds only in churning up an atmosphere of ghoulish sentimentality.

Rated: 1.5/4

Kevin Thomas

Los Angeles Times

Donsky, who gives his cast the confidence to show considerable emotion, clearly understands that he is working with lurid material, and he plays against it, seemingly as inspired by Dickens as by the silent cinema...

Rated: 4/5

Twisted is a film ahead of its time in many ways...

Ken Fox

TV Guide

Donsky brings little to his characters, and his threadbare story lacks any of the moral purpose that allows Dickens's tale to transcend its own almost unbearable cruelty.

Rated: 2/5

Bob Satuloff

Film Journal International

Donsky, whose background is in the theatre, gives the film a solid structure, reveals a stylist's eye, and draws lively performances from a uniformly colorful cast.
