Reviews for In the Cut
Top CriticA muddle of thriller and art-house phantasmagoria.

Top CriticUltimately the question people may ask about In The Cut could be, She took her clothes off for this?
10/31/03
More of a curiosity than a full-fledged movie.

Top CriticIn the Cut manages to answer a question only a few of us were asking, and even fewer really wanted to know -- can a serial-killer movie be insufferably pretentious? Now we know. The answer is yes -- and how!
10/31/03
A disappointment.
10/31/03
Top CriticStunning and unrelenting.

In The Cut doesn't make the cut when it comes to the list of must-see Meg Ryan movies.
10/31/03
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.
10/31/03
Top CriticIt's been a while since a major filmmaker has made a movie this heavy with symbolism, this portentous, and this bad.
10/31/03
[N]ever genuinely erotic or nasty or sexy like it should be.
10/31/03
Simply put, this is not an entertaining film.
10/31/03
for all its flaws, there's something about this jittery thriller that's likely to get under your skin...
10/31/03
(Feels) less like a thriller and more like a fantasy of feminine self-hatred in which being manhandled by vile men is a turn-on.
10/31/03
In thrall to the power of words.
10/30/03
"Ryan’s actual performance is the strongest, most quirk-free work that she is doe in years."
10/30/03
Meg Ryan sheds more than her clothes in this would-be steamy thriller. She sheds her twinkle.
10/30/03
Generates some genuine suspense, and it has loads of menacing atmosphere -- much of it created by Campion's succession of clever, imaginative, sexually teasing directorial touches.
10/30/03
Life'll kill ya, lamented the late Warren Zevon. Love'll kill ya, amends Campion in a film which shows that what long has been good for the goose can cut both ways.
