Critic Reviews

Gary Goldstein

Death in Love is occasionally pretentious but always riveting. Strap yourself in, especially for those gruesome flashbacks of Nazi medical experiments -- this is one endurance test that's worth the effort. Read full review

David Edelstein

A pretentious and stilted but weirdly compelling blend of sins-of-the-parent saga and horror movie. Read full review

Duane Byrge

Bisset is powerful as a mother who has virtually devoured her young. With her Medusa-like tresses aswirl, she is truly ferocious. Read full review

Joe Neumaier

Challenging and thoughtful, but is also, like its characters, a prisoner of its own anger. Read full review

Ella Taylor

Someday, a wise and potent film will be made about the Holocaust's legacy on succeeding generations. Posing as a study in evil, Death in Love is claptrap that confuses bile with art. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Death in Love hasn't a drop of humor or hope. Its dull, smudged look makes every environment appear joyless and claustrophobic. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

There's something seriously wrong when you assemble actors this good -- and can't believe a single stilted word coming out of their mouths. Read full review
