Time OutKeith Uhlich
Gallo and Dalle are sublimely tragic figures; the scene in which Shane stalks around Notre Dame like Frankenstein unleashed is a pitch-perfect encapsulation of the way the film plays with and deepens movie-monster archetypes. Read full review

New York PostV.A. Musetto
If you have an appetite for audacious, one-of-a-kind filmmaking, this one's for you. Just don't say you weren't warned. Read full review

SalonAndrew O'Hehir
A haunting and terrifying film. It's also a film of wonderful spaces and silences. Read full review

Boston GlobeChris Fujiwara
A success in some sense, but it's hard to like a film so cold and dead. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarjorie Baumgarten
Something haunting is going on here, but it's as difficult for the viewers as it is for the characters to sink their teeth into anything truly satisfying. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
The extremely intimate violence is more explicit than is the mainstream norm, and Dalle's mouth is the stuff of nightmares. Read full review

Film ThreatMichael Dequina
As palpable as the atmosphere is, had the film boasted a clearer, more memorable story and performances that were a step above adequate, the creepiness wouldn't have simply lingered with the viewer, it would have gotten under their skin. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorDavid Sterritt
Denis's pungent images create a nightmarish mood but don't bring full artistic coherence to her odd mix of gothic horror and postmodern reverie. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyErnest Hardy
A taut mess -- beautiful, gory, tedious and puzzling. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
Highly problematical. The trouble with "Trouble" is one of temperament. Denis' formality and seriousness make the horror genre a risky business for her, especially when sex is combined with outrageous gore. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyLisa Schwarzbaum
A demented, orgiastically gory vampire/sex parable. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen Holden
Ultimately seems naïve. In developing the comparison of sex and cannibalism, it never goes beyond the standard Draculian symbol of blood to include other bodily substances. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJack Mathews
Insipid, self-indulgent bit of art-house macabre. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
Maybe there's a metaphor here, but figuring it out wouldn't make Trouble Every Day any better. Read full review

Village VoiceJ. Hoberman
This modern-day vampire story is purposefully shocking in its eroticized gore, if unintentionally dull in its lack of poetic frissons. Read full review

VarietyDerek Elley
Over-long, under-written and needlessly obscure instead of genuinely atmospheric. Read full review
