Critic Reviews

V.A. Musetto

Marchand capably builds suspense, thanks to a twisty script and nervy performances by Lucas and Quinton. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Seizes on a primal fear and flogs it for two hours. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

The truly creepy thing is that there's no bizarre, COMA-like conspiracy behind the malfeasance, just an awful betrayal of trust -- the kind of thing that sends an icy, paranoid chill through the blood just as the anesthetic takes hold. Read full review

Jack Mathews

A long and uneventful snooze. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Effectively creates a menacing atmosphere within the gleaming white halls of the hospital in which it is set, but its story line and characterizations lack the sufficient originality to lift the film above its many better predecessors. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Watching it is like a slow injection of a numbing anesthetic. It may send a chill to your heart, but along with it goes a warning signal to your brain not to believe a word of this hooey. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

Delivers only annoyance and impatience. Read full review

Even those critics who applauded the film judged it as a thriller, when in fact it is a dead-on social, political and philosophical allegory that is rendered in a hauntingly beautiful visual style. The lifeworld/hospital in which Dr. Phillippe and Isabelle make their limited and predetermined moves is a frightening reflection of the spectacular and fragmented media universe we all inhabit, and in which our dreams more often decay than flower. This is one of the best and least understood films in recent memory.… Expand
