As a study in kinky insanity, Cul-de-Sac creates a tingling atmosphere. This sags riskily at times when the director unturns the screws and does not keep control of his frequently introduced comedy. March 26, 2009 | Full Review…

If the subject matter is bleak and bitterly serious, the tone throughout is darkly comic, while the precise imagery effortlessly conveys the tension, the claustrophobia, and the madness of the situation. February 9, 2006 | Full Review…

After two clean hits -- Knife in the Water and Repulsion -- Roman Polanski is entitled to one wild swing. May 9, 2005 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

This much sounds like a standard horror-film outline, especially since Stander looks amazingly like Frankenstein. But Polanski ignores the horror to concentrate instead on macabre humor. October 23, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The sheer affectedness of the whole thing... rocks the film off its foundations and leaves one irritated to watch a talented director going through the motions of proving what an enfant terrible he is. January 22, 2018 | Full Review…

Cul-de-sac's greatest strength is that while its script resembles a bourgeois comedy of errors, its visuals are more in tune with existential horror. February 28, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Polanski tributes the [gangster-invasion film] by adding his own conceit: when there's no community worth salvaging, a threat will leave all involved floating, sans shoreline. October 27, 2011 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…

Polanski uses all kinds of off-kilter angles an close-ups and his actors are absolutely fearless. The pacing is a little off, as there are stretches where it gets a little long, but it upends convention at every turn and that s pretty thrilling. October 27, 2011 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

pure Polanski through and through, made with no restraints and little outside influence, but it stumbles on its own absurdist tendencies, demonstrating how sometimes too much is too much August 31, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…
