[T]he character that Meg Ryan is playing so well here is so compelling. I think it's a wonderful performance that the movie is worth seeing for that.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
More of an intriguing project than a satisfying experience.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten
Belabored and muddled movie, whose dreamy visual style and daring sexual material can't elide glaring inconsistencies in tone, plot and logic.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

When In The Cut is good, it is very good.
