Fear X, like an impressionistic painting, is evocative in original ways.
01/27/05
Intellectually, the story isn't as compelling Kafkaesque at it probably wants to be, but at least it has a mind of its own.
01/21/05
What happens afterwards, in Refn and the late Hubert Selby, Jr.'s can't-resist-obscurity-and-ambiguity screenplay will disappoint most filmgoers.
03/01/07
This thriller is ingeniously woven with motifs suggesting the difficulty of seeing and understanding truth, and substitutes psychological chills for commonplace gore.
01/27/05
Slick thriller.
12/31/08
Nicolas Winding Refn evokes grief as a Lynchian put-on.

Fortunately, Turturro's subtle turn keeps our emotional connection solid even when the story skates on thin ice.

Like all Refn's work, Fear X was shot chronologically and, given that the film was made on a tight budget, it's not too much of a surprise that the ending feels rushed.
07/16/04
Turturro gets under your skin, obsessed as he is with finding not the who, but the why, of his wife's senseless murder.
01/18/05
An atmospheric but unsatisfying mystery chiller.
03/24/04
As the film builds, director Refn skillfully allows Harry to get both closer and farther away form his goal, like an optical illusion.
02/01/05
The story, in the end, is less than satisfying and, unfortunately, doesn't match the movie's eerie style.
