While it runs a bit slow, Intacto doesn't bore, and the ending is interesting to see played out, if not a bit predictable.

Reviews for Intacto
The story and structure are well-honed. Fresnadillo's dark and jolting images have a way of plying into your subconscious like the nightmare you had a week ago that won't go away.

It’s one thing to enjoy this movie, it’s quite another to take it as seriously as it takes itself.

Intriguing and stylish.

So fiendishly cunning that even the most jaded cinema audiences will leave the auditorium feeling dizzy, confused, and totally disorientated. Not to mention absolutely refreshed.

It has Mamet's cool, philosopher's finesse, but none of Borges's fun.

Saved by Fresnadillo's visual virtuosity.

Like a sprinter competing in his first distance race: It bursts forth with tremendous energy, sustains itself for quite a while, loses steam near the end but finishes ahead of most of the pack.
06/13/03
Far-fetched premise, convoluted plot, and thematic mumbo jumbo about destiny and redemptive love.

Top CriticI admired Intacto more than I liked it, for its ingenious construction and the way it keeps a certain chilly distance between its story and the dangers of popular entertainment.

Top CriticA clever, original thriller that bows to no genre.

Top CriticApuestas fuertes para el futuro del director, y apuestas bien fundadas, pues la suerte ya la tiene, y la cinta lo comprueba....

The brilliance of the picture lies in the way it carefully lets information loose a little at a time, so that we're drawn into this world and captivated by it -- until we finally understand everything only at the very end.
01/06/03
Intriguing premise and nice visuals but a storyline too opaque for its own good.
10/28/02
Although Sam's concentration camp backstory flirts with tastelessness, Mr. Fresnadillo charges Intacto with enough well-visualized oddity and surrealism to keep it interesting.
01/03/03
Top CriticThe film's major concept ... is a bit gimmicky, but the film has well-developed characters and style to spare.
01/31/03
Even if you get lost in the labyrinth of the plot -- which is not just understandable but almost inevitable -- you will almost certainly enjoy yourself trying to make it all make some sort of cosmic sense.

Top CriticIt is von Sydow who gives Intacto its gravity, resonance, soul.
01/10/03
Top Criticone of those European genre films that look much superior to Hollywood even when they are obviously below the standards of genre excellence
