Fresnadillo has something serious to say about the ways in which extravagant chance can distort our perspective and throw us off the path of good sense.

Jan Stuart, Newsday

The casting of von Sydow ... is itself Intacto's luckiest stroke.

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Rotten

Nothing if not hip, but its questions are more coffee-shop hypothetical than genuinely profound.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten

I admired Intacto more than I liked it, for its ingenious construction and the way it keeps a certain chilly distance between its story and the dangers of popular entertainment.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh

A clever, original thriller that bows to no genre.

Loren King, Chicago Tribune
