Delightfully twisted, Thirst Street takes the ideas of desire, romantic longing and desperation — desperation as the world’s worst cologne — and bathes it in a sheen of frosty colors, genuine vulnerability and sardonic unkindness. Read full review

Chuck Bowen

It’s a testament to Nathan Silver’s keen sense of observation that we don’t want the film to turn decisively into thriller terrain. Read full review

RogerEbert.com Vikram Murthi

Sep 20, 2017

It’s a portrait of obsession that doesn’t caricaturize nor ridicule, an empathetic account of desire and its inherent limitations, as well as an opaque psychological study that falls in line with life’s myriad mysteries. Read full review

Richard Brody

Burdge infuses her rigidly and scantly defined role with tremulous vulnerability, and Silver, aided by the splashy palette of Sean Price Williams’s cinematography, evokes derangement with a sardonic wink. Read full review

Robert Abele

Sep 28, 2017

There’s not much in the way of bruising insight into the makeup of a deteriorating personality, but for a compact spin through well-trod fields of lustful, sad-mad blindness, “Thirst Street” has its share of disreputably perverse pleasures. Read full review

The Film Stage Daniel Schindel

Sep 20, 2017

Vivid and mordant, Thirst Street imperfectly defines its lead, but makes her journey distinct. Read full review

David Rooney

Aug 11, 2017

While Burdge's dogged commitment to the role commands admiration, Gina's obtuse, masochistic behavior keeps us from investing in her as a character spiraling out of control. Read full review

Thirst Street turned out to be a more overwhelming experience than I expected because I had in mind a different dynamic but this tragicomedy about the emotional intrigues of its protagonist; A young stewardess who ends up driven to a point of obsessive madness because of a one-night standThirst Street turned out to be a more overwhelming experience than I expected because I had in mind a different dynamic but this tragicomedy about the emotional intrigues of its protagonist; A young stewardess who ends up driven to a point of obsessive madness because of a one-night stand from which she cannot move on, it shows us a side that is rarely explored inside films because it could easily fall into the cliche especially the Hollywood cliche in which the girl is a complete psychopath observed under the eyes of a male character and despite the fact the story is centered in a woman it oes not make her a saint or a one-dimensional character which adds a different dimesion to what it's telling. The movie is not memorable but I definitely have a bigger appreciation of it because it exceeded my initial expectations.… Expand
