Friedkin's ability to ratchet up the tension without losing sight of the play's human element goes a long way. He's delivered a properly paranoid love story for a very paranoid age.

Beat by beat, Bug is gripping: It has that feverish compression of great theater, but director William Friedkin gets inside it, so it's never stagy.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

A film of excruciating intensity, a psychodrama that infects the imagination.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh
This is a movie about the dangers of letting love rob you of your reason and cut you off from the world, and, bugs in the bloodstream or not, who hasn't been there?
Dana Stevens, Slate

Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon (who reprises his stage persona) never allow us to categorize the main characters as one-dimensional nut jobs but two emotionally fractured souls who retreat into paranoid delusion.
