Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A stunning minimalist erotic thriller that explores with arresting photography and economical use of dialogue how human identity is defined, and sometimes imprisoned, by our desires, drives, and passions.
– Tirdad Derakhshani,
Philadelphia Inquirer,

fresh:
Carefully and often brilliantly creates its own Eden-like universe.
– John Hartl,

fresh:
There's too much metaphysical packaging material in the story; it's half Styrofoam peanuts. But its ideas are intriguing and its murky suspense is undeniable.
– Colin Covert,

fresh:
What sets the engrossing "Stranger by the Lake" apart is that its excesses seem to point to a moral purpose beyond shock or entertainment value.
– Stephanie Merry,
Washington Post,

fresh:
A simple and ruthlessly effective exercise in minimal narrative and style, Alain Guiraudie's moral tale is so restrained and atmospheric that the nudity and graphic sex don't upstage the creepy mood of seductive, inescapable doom.
