Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Feb 25, 2013
Probably the most psychoanalytically oriented of his features, and because it's Lang, the murkiness is mainly a strength. Go to Full Review

2/5
Sloppy effort from Lang late in his career. Go to Full Review

3/5
Mr. Lang is still a director who knows how to turn the obvious, such as locked doors and silent chambers and roving spotlights, into strangely tingling stuff. Go to Full Review

6/10
A psychological thriller with gothic and Freudian undertones by Lang that rewrites the Bluebeard story through a somber atmosphere, but whose narrative, unfortunately, is uneven and lacks the necessary intrigue. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Carson Timar ClapperCast Nov 10, 2024

James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk Sep 3, 2024
3/4
