Reviews for In the Cut
A failed thriller, if a thriller it was intended to be. But it is a great success as... a study of female sexual psychology in a world of hypermasculine violence.

Meg Ryan took her shirt off for this?
10/30/03
As a straight-up erotic thriller, In the Cut is too self-possessed, scattered and moody to function.

Top Critic... a curious mistake rather than a disaster
01/27/05
In a sense, it's a Rorschach test of what it's like to be single, 40ish, female and living alone in New York City.

Top CriticThe impression left is that one can turn a serial-killer movie into a pretentious art-house film, but why would you want to?
02/13/04
In the Cut is almost always compelling, even when its true-crime plot machinations appear obvious and flawed.
11/02/03
While it is bold, ambitious and often striking, In The Cut isn't as incisive as it pretends to be.

It's been a while since a major filmmaker has made a movie this heavy with symbolism, this portentous, and this bad.

Derivative, idiotic thriller that is devoid of any suspense, logic or intelligence.

All of this is well done, and yet the movie is kind of a shambles. The key supporting characters are awkwardly used, as if the movie thinks it ought to have them but doesn't know why.

Top CriticCampion impudently sabotages her star's history, and Ryan, joining the plot, makes Frannie come alive, looking as provocatively out of place as Diane Keaton did playing the nymphomaniac teacher in the sexual hell of 1977's Looking for Mr. Goodbar.

Top CriticIt's an art movie for the masses.

É uma pena constatar que, afinal de contas, Meg Ryan tirou a roupa por um filme que, ironicamente, também se encontra despido. Neste caso, de méritos artísticos.
04/17/04
Campion creates a nearly lethal dose of emotion-deprivation, turning spine tickling dread into something nearly dreadful.
10/27/03
The murder investigation just doesn't work.
