B+

A controversial psychological drama.

There's a fine and committed performance by Long, who looks like a pretty, young Nick Cave, but the women are never anything more than agents of the central conceit, the missing link in an otherwise psychologically intriguing film.

2.5/5

A bit like an album by The Doors: faultlessly good-looking and loaded with dramatic import. Then you get up close and it turns out there's not much there at all.

3/5

Shot like a lush, hypnotic waking dream, it's boldly beautiful and plays some half-smart games with sex, power and gender politics.

The Book of Revelation is interesting enough to hope Kokkinos follows it with something equally daring.

3/6

An adaptation of novelist Rupert Thomson’s erotic mystery/thriller that fails to find a visual or narrative equivalent for the book’s elegant prose and lubricious mysteries.

The film has an intriguing take on sexual power, and Greta Scacchi is excellent.

A production that any serious film buff will have to experience.

4.5/5

Clearly, with its unabashedly honest nudity, steamy scenes of bondage, masturbation, sodomy and even some old-fashioned fucking, this is no flick for kids.

The premise is provocative but the film lingers too long on the scenes of imprisonment, turning them into a kind of soft-porn performance art and leaving the emotional aftershocks less satisfyingly explored.

Even the pivotal weakness of [Tom] Long's dull persona can't undermine the pic's determination to confront auds intellectually and emotionally.
