Taste, obsession and the temptations of the good life swirl around this deliciously dark tale of insidious seduction.
The movie's unlikely setup is full of potential, but the story's evolution and conclusion taste like stale leftovers.
The director's confident style and the actors' arch sophisticated role-playing holds one's interest.
Difficult to describe, not easily forgotten, A Matter of Taste lingers long after higher-profile films have come and gone.
Rapp proves deft enough at exploring the greatest of all mysteries, people's personalities, to keep us squirming and mesmerized from start to finish.
A wickedly dark and comic Pygmalion and it'll stick to yer ribs like a delicious bowl of poison oatmeal.
The two lead performances are so good it contains more emotional depth than it probably has a right to.
It works best when it most resembles David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers.
Helmer Rapp confidently directs his players in a focused, evenly paced manner that maintains the film’s underlying tension.
The screenplay doesn't sufficiently develop its ideas into a coherent whole.
plays like an inverted version of Joseph Losey's "The Servant" as seen through the gorgeous rot of Peter Greenaway's films
Examines the shadow side of a healthy sense of self-esteem where some individuals try to control others and a few are willing to be devoured by them.
