Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A surprisingly unruffled tale of love, thievery, murder and revenge.
– Stephen Cole,
Globe and Mail,
22 Jan 2010
fresh:
The plot might have yielded a generic erotic thriller if Revanche were made by rougher hands. Instead it becomes something more sophisticated thanks to the efforts of writer-director Gotz Spielmann and a superb cast.
– Jason Anderson,
Toronto Star,
22 Jan 2010
fresh:
There's real biblical tragedy, and redemption, in Spielmann's fine, sad, suspenseful film.
– Steven Rea,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
5 Nov 2009
fresh:
A film of carefully strained pulp and rigorously controlled intrigue, the Austrian revenge drama Revanche, which is really about the dividing line between vengeance and forgiveness, belongs to a neo-noir universe where all the classical genre laws apply.
– Michael Phillips,
Chicago Tribune,
14 Aug 2009
fresh:
Writer-director Gotz Spielmann (Antares) avoids the clutter and manipulation of most thrillers, escalating tension almost solely through the characters' turbulent emotions.
