Christian Science MonitorDavid Sterritt
Plays like a warmed-over "Last Tango in Paris," with more explicit sex but a lower level of originality and acting skill. Read full review

The New YorkerDavid Denby
The movie holds one in its surly grip, but when it's over, few people, I think, are likely to be haunted by it. Futility may work as a mood in a short story, but in a full-scale movie it doesn't bear looking at for very long. (29 Oct 2001, p. 92)

New York PostLou Lumenick
Wants to be a "Last Tango in Paris" for the new millennium, but its flaccid dramatization and hollow moralizing doesn't rise even to the level of last year's "An Affair of Love," let alone Bertolucci's masterpiece. Read full review

Authentically British or not, Intimacy is squarely in the indigenous kitchen-sink style -- a far cry from the absurdly chic, sentimental pseudo-worldliness of something like "An Affair of Love." Read full review
