If Antonioni ultimately fails he deserves full marks for setting out on this adventure.

Michelangelo Antonioni's 1982 film Identification of a Woman never saw release...and now we know why!
01/01/00
There's a very good reason this moody, atmospheric effort was never released in the United States until now -- it isn't very good.

Top Critic...uneasy and difficult to pin down, like the paranoia of a dream.

Identification of a Woman is an excrutiatingly empty work. It's also beautiful and sad -- virtually a parody of the director's great L'Avventura and some of his other earlier films.
08/30/04
This is a respectable return by Antonioni to familiar thematic ground -- the impossibility of maintaining relationships in the contemporary world -- helped by a fine ironic underpinning and smoothly assured visuals.
08/29/06
A lugubrious story.

A refreshing irony prevents the hardened art house pundit from wallowing in nostalgia and the metaphysics of 'portentous messages'.
02/09/06
Identification of a Woman is not an easy film, but it's a most welcome addition to Antonioni's canon.
05/22/01
The most openly erotic of Antonioni's features, and visually one of the most beautiful.
