Allure has visual style and an intriguing Evan Rachel Wood on its side, but a clumsily told story leaves this sexually charged thriller less than the sum of its parts.

Despite its stellar performances, this feels like a psychological drama without much basis in actual human psychology. May 18, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Allure sets itself up to be an erotic thriller, but is all the better for avoiding cheap bunny boiler tropes, and instead focusing on character. May 17, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The screenplay doesn't rise to the level of the behind-the-camera craftmanship or the acting. Mar 18, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

I was expecting to be moved by the film, but instead I found myself often uncomfortable. Icky. Yes, the lead character is not very likeable (despite the fact that you learn all that she went through which goes a long way towards explaining her behaviour). Feb 28, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Allure delves into some very dark and disturbing themes but handles them respectfully. This is by no means an easy watch but is certainly an important watch. Aug 23, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Allure explores the dark side of human behavior, but instead of holding the offender accountable, it plays more like a superficial lesbian film made by men for men. Aug 5, 2018 | Full Review…

Allure is an intriguing, stylishly visualised neo noir, but in the end, has neither the depth as a psychological drama, nor the suspense of a thriller, too often feeling dark and nasty for its own sake. Jul 31, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
