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. Read critic reviews

Critic Reviews for Allure

All Critics (32) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (17)

  • Excavates sexual trauma to darkly fascinating and meaningful effect.

    May 18, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

    Tara Brady

    Irish Times

  • 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…

    Cath Clarke

    Guardian

  • Teeters on the brink of pretension, but is rescued by an incendiary turn from the always interesting Evan Rachel Wood.

    May 18, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    Kevin Maher

    Times (UK)

  • 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…

    Anton Bitel

    Little White Lies

  • Deeply unsettling, but ultimately unsatisfying psychological drama that over-manipulates its specious situation.

    David Parkinson

    Empire Magazine

  • The drama is memorable but often feels grimly unpleasant rather than moving.
