Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The most openly erotic of Antonioni's features, and visually one of the most beautiful.

fresh:
A refreshing irony prevents the hardened art house pundit from wallowing in nostalgia and the metaphysics of 'portentous messages'.

rotten:
Identification of a Woman is an excrutiatingly empty work. It's also beautiful and sad -- virtually a parody of the director's great L'Avventura and some of his other earlier films.

rotten:
There's a very good reason this moody, atmospheric effort was never released in the United States until now -- it isn't very good.
