Edward Guthmann San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023
3/4
Louis Malle's beleaguered tale of sexual obsession is a strange but satisfying hybrid of high-gloss trash and Greek tragedy. Go to Full Review
David Ansen Newsweek May 22, 2018
It's to Malle and his gifted company's credit that this posh bodice-ripper often comes close to achieving its tragic ambitions. But the stylish Damage is a lot easier to enjoy if one doesn't feel compelled to take it seriously. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
4/4
Stephen and Anna are wrong to do what they do in Damage, but they cannot help themselves. We know they are careening toward disaster. We cannot look away. Go to Full Review
Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting May 31, 2023
4/5
The iconic final image...is sheer perfection. It’s a symbol of everything that he [Stephen] had and lost; an empty bit of nostalgia epitomizing the three lives he ruined. Go to Full Review
Steve Warren Southern Voice (Atlanta) May 9, 2023
The acting is excellent and Damage is no tease; it's an intelligent, well made erotic drama. Go to Full Review
Vanessa Letts The Spectator Jul 25, 2018
The worst thing about Damages is David Hare's screenplay. It is constructed mostly out of embarrassingly meaningful looks. Go to Full Review

Albus R Mar 21, 2018 The sex scenes are so over the top,they start to seem laughable and are actually an annoying interruption to the story which is unfolding around them.After we understand that the Irons character is basically totally crazy - literally- about the Binoche woman, it gets a bit like " ok,yeah,we get it.We don't need to have endless middle- class- arty sex scenes in posh places ( during which I couldn't help myself being very aware of the director at work,somehow.It all seemed so pretentious) What a waste of the gorgeous Rupert Graves,by the way!

Kylo G May 11, 2017 Malle's masterful direction, Preisner's wonderful music and Irons-Binoches' unforgettable performances make the film highly pleasurable to watch. See more
