Argento seizes each scene with both hands, adding surprising layers of feeling as she goes.

It's devastating.

[An] entertaining, elegantly shot adaptation of Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly's 19th century novel.

It's characteristic of the virtues and limitations of French sexual provocateur Catherine Breillat...that they usually derive from the same source--the fearless determination to skirt the borders of camp.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
