The film begins as a striking performer in an underground cabaret, Bo Ancellin (Robinson Stévenin), discovers her prominent physician father has been arrested for fondling a child in his office. Years before, Bo had also been victim of his sexual abuse, but the accusations were conveniently overlooked by authorities. As a result, Bo is psychologically disturbed, and harbors an intense distrust of police. To complicate matters, many of Bo's transsexual prostitute friends are turning up brutally murdered. As a twisty, suspenseful plot unfolds, a tenacious Police Chief (Richard Boringer) tries to determine why all of the murders inevitably lead back to Bo. Shining in this psychologically demanding role, actor Robinson Stévenin won the French equivalent of Best New Actor for this performance. [More]

S. James Wegg

Serial chiller a victim of overdone dénouement

An absorbing mystery thriller.

Ernest Hardy

What really sink the film are the script's reductive, outdated psychological implications ... and its clumsy melodramatics.

Bo ... in Stévenin's smirky, callow performance often comes off as more irritating than sympathetic.

...it's instantly forgettable, which is an impressive feat given how endless the film feels.

Kent Turner

Bo [Robinson Stévenin] is the cliché of the self-hating victim.

Ken Fox

The film is at odds with itself, trying to present transgendered characters as resourceful and tough as nails while the plot habitually reduces them to traumatized masochists and helpless victims.

Shlomo Schwartzberg

Transfixed is interested in blood and gore and sexual titillation rather than character development or psychological depth.

1.5/5

Dave Kehr

[Girod's] film feels more like what one would see from the top of a double-decker tourist bus than the work of someone who has immersed himself in a sexual subculture and its particular values.

A sleazy crime story about transvestites in Brussels being chopped up by a madman.
