Critics' Reviews

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Manohla Dargis
Jane Campion's astonishingly beautiful new film may be the most maddening and imperfect great movie of the year.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
As a thriller, In the Cut, with its red herring characters and plot twists, turns dopey and predictable. As a portrait of a single woman, burned by love and wary of what's in store, Campion's movie has its trenchant, telling passages.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
Meg Ryan does such an effective job of evoking her sexually hungry lonely girl that it might have been better to just follow that line and not distract her and the audience with the distraction of a crime plot.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Dana Stevens
A disjointed, sometimes fascinating mélange of moods, associations and effects.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Mike Clark
An OK mood piece but story-hungry murder mystery that flubs its whodunit fundamentals.Read Full Review »

ROLLING STONE: Peter Travers
The result, sadly, is a mess.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
If your reason for seeing In the Cut is to watch America's sweetheart stripped bare, you'll get what you're looking for. On the other hand, if you're looking for a good movie, this one will disappoint.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Ann Hornaday
At once belabored and muddled movie, whose dreamy visual style and daring sexual material can't elide glaring inconsistencies in tone, plot and logic.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: J. Hoberman
Aggressively grim and gory.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
Isn't just a movie about decapitation; it's a decapitated movie. It has no idea where its head is at.Read Full Review »
