Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
As a study in kinky insanity, Cul-de-Sac creates a tingling atmosphere. This sags riskily at times when the director unturns the screws and does not keep control of his frequently introduced comedy.

fresh:
If the subject matter is bleak and bitterly serious, the tone throughout is darkly comic, while the precise imagery effortlessly conveys the tension, the claustrophobia, and the madness of the situation.

rotten:
After two clean hits -- Knife in the Water and Repulsion -- Roman Polanski is entitled to one wild swing.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
fresh:
This much sounds like a standard horror-film outline, especially since Stander looks amazingly like Frankenstein. But Polanski ignores the horror to concentrate instead on macabre humor.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
One of the best and purest of all his works.
