Critic Reviews

Marc Mohan

If you're content to let dream logic take over, a lot can be gleaned from this odd, darkly funny meditation on life, death, love and revenge. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Brilliantly conceived and competently executed. Read full review

Jack Mathews

By the end, you may not know whether you've seen a ghost story or a story of delusional obsession, but you'll have had a great time. Read full review

Robert Abele

The acting is serviceable and primarily of the stare-until-you're-uncomfortable variety, although Rampling is much more than that: She's a classic screen temptress with the aura of a melancholy spider. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

The film's main attractions are the Charlottes, but the price of watching their eerie psychological pas de deux is to endure muddled metaphors and goofy gadgetry. Read full review

Marta Barber

Holds enough interest throughout to keep you entertained -- unless you're afraid of mice. Read full review

Dana Stevens

The second half of the movie squanders suspense and momentum, solving its riddles by deflating them. Read full review

Both compelling and ceepy, you may think you know what's happening when you don't Wait it out, for the conclusion will make it all worth the wait. It makes you ask yourself, "How far will I go to get what I want?" and "What sacrifices will I make for love?"

You won't see anything quite like this all year. The less you know going in the better. I saw the film in LA and a few people walked out. Lemmings!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What's Lemming got to do w/ it? Be prepared for leisurely paced. Very deliberately. Hairy little ffck is in no hurry, Sort of begs the question: Can a movie be subversive? Simultaeously, clearly funny and deadly serious. Saw this before and it stayed in my mind for 10 years. Basically it's just assured of 10 more. I think better than 'subversive' it's an interesting trip. Which is enough for me to say: Recommended.… Expand

For something that's supposed to be a ghost story/ thriller, this isn't the least bit scary. It also isn't particularily suspenseful, creepy, or eerie. In fact it doen't even come across as all that edgy. It's just one woman's convuluted scheme to kill her For something that's supposed to be a ghost story/ thriller, this isn't the least bit scary. It also isn't particularily suspenseful, creepy, or eerie. In fact it doen't even come across as all that edgy. It's just one woman's convuluted scheme to kill her husband, contrively dressed up as a ghost story. Filmmakers had an intriging idea, but they never figured out how to turn that idea into either a good movie, or a compelling story.… Expand

Reminded me alot perhaps to much of Cache. If that was your cup of tea you will probably like this. At times excruciatingly slow, and very long. Too bad since it got of too a good start and had some nice whisps of dark comedy. But after all was said and done was just not satisfying.
