Reviews for Fear X

03/21/04
Fear X, like an impressionistic painting, is evocative in original ways.
01/27/05
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
Fortunately, Turturro's subtle turn keeps our emotional connection solid even when the story skates on thin ice.
01/28/05
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
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
With an elliptical style and open-ended interpretations, it is definitely not for those who like their mysteries spelled out and tied up neatly.
01/27/05
Top Critic[A] thoroughly riveting slow-burn of a psychological thriller...
01/07/05
It's half a movie, but a half that hums.
01/25/05
Top CriticRefn seems overly pleased with his own cleverness, laying on the hypnotic austerity a bit thickly.

02/06/05
It's a fundamentally Scandinavian movie, a hyperintense meditation on death and destiny set amid a bleak wintry landscape and played out by the emotionally devastated.
02/02/05
Turturro ... never wavers in his commitment to a role that deprives him of nearly all his actorly tools.
01/27/05
A supremely elegant, meditative thriller.
02/13/03
Grimly austere barely begins to describe the atmosphere of dread that seeps through Fear X like a toxic mist.
