Obligada si gustan del suspenso, una muestra digna de un actor que filma y, en su dimensión, una cinta valiosa y bien llevada.

The intricate plotting . . . reveals everything and yet, using the audiences preconceived notions, makes each fact a surprise and each fiction a shock.

...knows exactly what to show and what to let us imagine.

A twisty, moody slice of Southern Gothic...

Frailty isn't as gory or explicit. But in its child-centered, claustrophobic context, it can be just as frightening and disturbing -- even punishing.

Top Critica deliberative film, not an action film

Bill Paxton does an excellent job in his directorial debut - creating a creepy, gothic horror story.
06/04/02
The jitters linger long after the movie ends.
04/11/02
This is one of the outstanding thrillers of recent years.
11/10/02
With an admirably dark first script by Brent Hanley, Paxton, making his directorial feature debut, does strong, measured work.
09/16/02
A hot-acid concoction of thrills, spills, trepidation, and one of the most novel stories of recent times.
12/08/02
“Frailty” has been written so well, that even a simple “Goddammit!” near the end takes on a whole other meaning.
04/14/02
Moody, perverse, and full to busting with metaphorical cautions, Frailty makes the most of its ambiguous title.
04/12/02
Frailty is dark, disturbing, twisted, thought-provoking, and probably one of the most well crafted and profound films to come out of Hollywood in the recent past.
04/12/02
A suitably suspenseful and disturbing drama.
