Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Death and the Maiden forces the audience to confront questions about torture and punishment.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
18 Jun 2002
fresh:
Mr. Polanski treads lightly on the clumsier lines, and sustains tension by creating an elegant, unobtrusive dance with the camera.
– Caryn James,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
Polanski wisely never opens out the action from the remote clifftop house. In keeping things claustrophobic, close-up and ambivalent, he heightens the suspense (not to mention the sexual tension).
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
26 Jan 2006
fresh:
Kingsley shrewdly tantalizes the viewer about his identity, and gets to deliver the text's most riveting monologue at the end. The lesser-known Wilson may be the first among equals, impressing strongly as the equivocating husband.
– Todd McCarthy,
Variety,
26 May 2008
fresh:
Polanski certainly gets the maximum voltage and precision out of his story and actors, keeping us preternaturally alert to shifting power relationships and delayed revelations.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
