The main thing interesting about Boarding Gate is the spectacle of Assayas' effort -- the attitude and the international backdrop -- not the story itself.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Like just about everything in Boarding Gate, the finale suggests that its creators have been watching too many other movies with similar premises and payoffs.
John Hartl, Seattle Times

The plot may be murky, but actress Asia Argento is a clear and commanding force throughout.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

This hypnotic, angular thriller about sex, murder, betrayal and money takes you on a feverish journey from nowhere to somewhere.
