A film that seems as fresh as the day it was released.
01/01/00
A methodical but fairly repellent exercise in claustrophobic horror.
10/18/06
An intense psychological thriller from the master of the genre.
09/21/07
Roman Polanski's first film in English is still his scariest and most disturbing.

Top CriticAlthough it cannot quite live up to its reputation, Polanski's startling psychological horror film is a bona fide genre classic.
07/27/09
Polanski retrata a ruptura psíquica da protagonista de forma genial, utilizando não apenas a bela performance de Deneuve, mas também os movimentos de câmera e cenários.

Roman Polanski's1965 psychological thriller uncoils like a primordial poisonous snake disguised by unfathomable beauty that conceals its deadly feminine bite
07/13/09
This is Roman Polanski's most microscopically focused tale of paranoia, and arguably his greatest achievement.
10/03/05
A contemporary audience might find the horror in Repulsion occurring too little, too late, but the fun of the movie is in the details, the careful etching of the mind of a woman cracking under the strain of her alienation.
01/01/00
Repulsion wastes no time before plunging its audience into the frighteningly disturbed mindset of its central character.
08/05/09
A story of sexual repression of such magnitude necessarily treads on Freudian ground but Polanski resists any urge to plumb the psychological depths of his tortured protagonist.
07/25/09
Polanski's best by a wide margin. The walls! The walls!
12/22/03
Repulsion is perhaps Polanski's and Deneuve's finest hours.
01/01/00
Roman Polanski made his international name with this genuinely frightening black-and-white nightmare.
04/09/07
Haunting and ominous from first frame to last, Polanski's first English film is a masterpiece, a subtle horror tale about the descent into madness of an isolated, sexually repressed woman, stunningly played by Catherine Deneuve who was only 22 at the time
07/25/09
If hell is in the details, Roman Polanski has captured it here in his disturbing portrait of falling into psychosis.
