Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A gruelling but highly responsible film about the influence of heroin on a New York street romance.

fresh:
It is not filled with quick cutting or gimmicky editing, but Jerry Schatzberg's direction is so confident that we cover the ground effortlessly.

rotten:
The movie's well-fed, camera-loving cast and general air of self-satisfied slumming reveal Panic for what it is: the kind of drug movie a pair of Malibu intellectuals and a fashion photographer would cook up.
