Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
So elegant, so deliciously scary, so masterfully controlled that you feel tingles of bliss even as your skin crawls.

fresh:
Polanski is in total command of his medium, something that hasn't been a sure thing since the 1970s, The Pianist notwithstanding.
– Peter Howell,

fresh:
The swirl of visual poetry, political intrigue and personal zeal that Polanski creates gets under your skin and brings an icy hand up your back. This is moviemaking.
– Tom Long,

rotten:

– Rick Groen,

fresh:
The thread of black humour that runs throughout the film compensates for its occasional moments of madness. It's a film just silly enough to be taken deadly seriously.
