What to Know

Critics Consensus

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.

07/12/2022 don't watch this movie unless you want your face to be scrunched like a raisin from cringing. just another fake deep movie that doesn't really make any real sense. or any sense at all. it was really bad. See more 09/21/2020 Evan Rachel Wood is convincing as a perpetrator....a difficult movie to watch, however many good movies are. See more 01/21/2020 This movie is not everyone's cup of tea but no movie is. I enjoy movies that explore the darker side of humanity and Evan Rachel Wood portrayed this impeccably. I wish we had known more about main character's background. I left with the feeling of wanting to know more about the main character. See more 04/06/2019 not even erw's brilliant performance can save this. See more 01/11/2019 Like watching a housecat playing to rough with a captuted mouse, your mortal concern for the creature ebs and flows during the entite movie, at times finding yoir screem "get away" when Eva, played Julia Sarah Stone finds herself considering what feel like a very dangerous devision in Allure. The dark wet landsvapes, never waiver and the entire fim and it weighs heavy and sad on anything found on the screen. Laura, Evan Rachel Wood is wonderful in this film. Wounded and angry she paws and pulls on the tiny and birdlike Eva, who often finds herself fearful and batterd, licking her wounds under the watchful eye of her lover. Lauras pathology explodes on the screens and Eva finds her stuck and the realization of ecerything that is wrong with her situations comes during an internal awaking for Eva...a sunden understanding of how serious things really are. See more 01/06/2019 The screenplay doesn't rise to the level of the behind-the-camera craftmanship or the acting. See more Read all reviews
