Dangerous Liaisons isn't necessarily a work of art, but it's a guilty pleasure for sure. Read full review

Robert Abele

Visual sumptuousness trumps the coldly erotic dastardliness of previous incarnations, but where this version feasts is on close-ups, with exchanges between pairs of eyes - the predatory versus the hesitant, the manipulatively comforting opposite the blindly vulnerable - that recall the silent era.

Schadenfreude carries a delectable tang no matter the language, and as the history of Hollywood shows, stories about pretty people behaving badly remain reliably alluring. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Nov 8, 2012

Hur invests the period setting with an eye-popping opulence that's meant to highlight the elite decadence that came before the fall, but his Dangerous Liaisons isn't particularly sophisticated on a political or historical level. Read full review

Revenge may be a dish best served cold, as the novel suggested, but steamy adaptations simply can't be doled out lukewarm. Read full review
