Linda Holmes NPR Apr 17
Her inability to explain what's happening is compelling, but the resolution of the mystery lets this one down a bit. Go to Full Review Nick Hilton Independent (UK) Apr 11
2/5
Despite that interesting core idea, “Bête Noire” never really knows where to go. Go to Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine Apr 10
The plot feels a bit stretched out; there’s too much filler between the point when most people will guess what’s going on and the climactic confrontation. But that showdown is tons of fun, when it finally happens. Go to Full Review Pedro Paunero EscribiendoCine Apr 11
