A stark, unsettling movie, one that grows darker and stranger with every little twist in the plot.

Reviews for Demonlover
Top CriticBy far one of the most interesting and thoughtful pieces of cinema to savage American cinema screens in ages, and certainly the only incoming French mind-warper with a soundtrack by Sonic Youth.

Exhilaratingly original.

Expect demonlover to become a midnight-movie staple in the coming years. And expect shards of it to roil your dreams for weeks.

What gets off to a promising start derails thoroughly due to confused plotting, lack of sympathetic characters and a pointless preoccupation with internet torture websites.
06/05/02
Delving into confusion and messing with genre expectations, as well as making some serious points about contemporary morality, this is thought-provoking film. Though not exactly an entirely successful one.
03/02/08
It's gripping and provocative, making effective use of actor Charles Berling and the music of Sonic Youth.

Top CriticI was struck by the complete lack of morality.
09/20/03
Top CriticUnlike almost every other sexy modern thriller (especially most recent studio blockbusters), this one gives you a lot to think about.
09/18/03
Top CriticWhile this ambitious epic takes a finely cynical attitude toward the excesses of our media-saturated age, it never quite jells into a coherent statement.
09/18/03
You might not like the succession of betrayals or the erotic diligence that is the backbone of the story, but there is command of the medium shown here.
08/23/03
Nielsen, Chloe Sevigny and Gina Gershon shine, but ultimately this stylish yet dated arthouse feature is more confused than we are.
09/18/03
demonlover looked like a promising return to Irma Vep territory, but instead it's merely a hopped-up, arty cover for a standard issue Hollywood thriller.
09/29/03
An ultra-hip illustration of sexual politics in the global arena.
06/13/03
A film so chic you should see it right now, because it will start looking dated sometime next week.
09/18/03
Demonlover is so incomprehensible that you can't readily accuse it of being anything but almost unwatchable.
10/09/03
Top Critic...perhaps the best cinematic adaptation of a William Gibson novel never written.
10/08/03
Assayas' journey into Internet porn is more like email spam: It promises the world but really just wants to take your money.
09/20/03
Over and over, people hold solemn, antagonistic meetings over who'll get the rights to make computer-generated sleaze.
