Rather than deepening the mystery and sense of intoxication, the picture soon becomes one prolonged and very bad hangover.

Reviews for Demonlover
Top CriticIt's gripping and provocative, making effective use of actor Charles Berling and the music of Sonic Youth.
03/02/08
Top CriticA potent film.
08/14/07
Top CriticA stark, unsettling movie, one that grows darker and stranger with every little twist in the plot.
11/20/03
Top CriticDemonlover is so incomprehensible that you can't readily accuse it of being anything but almost unwatchable.
10/09/03
Top CriticA tiresome exercise in self-demonization.
10/08/03
Top CriticFor an hour or so, Demonlover is an entrancingly devious soap opera of executive decadence.
10/02/03
Top CriticA multilayered meditation on the fast-blurring lines between fantasy and reality, and the seductive troika of money, power and sex.
10/02/03
Top CriticExpect demonlover to become a midnight-movie staple in the coming years. And expect shards of it to roil your dreams for weeks.
09/26/03
Top CriticDisturbing, darkly beautiful.
09/20/03
Top CriticYou'll be as transfixed as you are utterly confused.
09/20/03
Top CriticWell-scripted, well-acted and occasionally sexy, but just isn't all that interesting.
09/20/03
Top CriticUnder cinematographer Denis Lenoir, Demonlover is visually grand, and the music by Sonic Youth is a grabber.
09/20/03
Top CriticA visually stylish movie that equates and fuses high-stakes corporate negotiations with the video-game mentality.
09/20/03
Top CriticI was struck by the complete lack of morality.
09/20/03
Top CriticThe movie feels like a shambles, and yet it's a stunning example of a director in complete control of his material.
09/20/03
Top CriticMeant to be a sleek, dark, disturbing David Cronenberg-style thriller, Olivier Assayas's film is just an annoying concoction.
09/20/03
Top CriticThe entrancing visual imagery goes a long way toward filling in the screenplay's gaps in logic.
09/18/03
Top CriticIt's an exasperating, irresistible, must-see mess of a movie about life in the modern world and so very good that even when its story finally crashes and burns the filmmaking remains unscathed.
09/18/03
Top CriticUnlike almost every other sexy modern thriller (especially most recent studio blockbusters), this one gives you a lot to think about.
