Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
[T]he character that Meg Ryan is playing so well here is so compelling. I think it's a wonderful performance that the movie is worth seeing for that.
More of an intriguing project than a satisfying experience.
Belabored and muddled movie, whose dreamy visual style and daring sexual material can't elide glaring inconsistencies in tone, plot and logic.
When In The Cut is good, it is very good.
