Reviews for Romeo Is Bleeding
With a tighter pace and a few more ‘kicks’ this one would be a true cult favourite.
This is a battle-of-the-sexes movie played out at such a pitch of pervsity and amorality that it ultimately becomes rather laughable.
It would be facile to say it substitutes style for content; actually, it substitutes stylishness for style.
An exercise in overwrought style and overwritten melodrama, and proof that a great cast cannot save a film from self-destruction.
Film noir at its worst and most excessive, an exercise in style, marred by ridicuolous voiceover narration and incomprehensible plot points; Lena Olin gives a sexy over the top performance.
Olin is one of the most vile female protagonists to ever walk out on a screen. Made little chinchillas run up and down my spine.
For all its promise, and for all the brittle beauty of Dariusz Wolski's cinematography, Romeo Is Bleeding eventually collapses under the weight of its violent affectations.
