Joseph Losey's best film in years.
Renata Adler, New York Times
Rotten
If there's a secret, director Joseph Losey isn't letting the audience in on it.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Losey has shown skill at conjuring up corruption and terror. Here he is undone by his scenarist, George Tabori, who attempts a ghostly esthetic melodrama in the style of Henry James.
TIME Magazine
Fresh
Losey's mannered direction, somehow entirely appropriate, makes for a memorable film.
