...Irons gives] a risky, mesmerizing performance....A fascinatingly cold-blooded assessment of love...
New York Times
Rating: C --
One of Cronenberg's most problematic and most disappointing films, largely due to the source material.

There's a lot to chew on in this incredible love story turned into a grisly horror story.

...Ian Richardson shines in his scenes as the impeccable French ambassador...
Variety
Rating: 4/5 --
Downright peculiar film from Cronenberg. Far from his best, but better than its reputation.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
The problem is not simply that Lone's drag wouldn't fool a baby. In the magnified intimacy of the camera's eye, it's clear Hwang doesn't really know who these unlikely lovers are. Metaphors can't carry a movie-flesh and blood is what's required.
