As tiresome as the relentless, indulgent inscrutability and lack of story momentum can be, it says something for the movie's visceral power that there isn't an urge to quit on it.

Tom Russo, Boston Globe
Rotten

I found a few lines and images in the second half intellectually stimulating, but it wasn't enough. "Strange Color" exploited little but my patience.

Erik Lundegaard, Seattle Times
Rotten

Enervatingly synthetic, "The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears" slices and dices the images and tropes of Italian giallo-style slasher films into an inert pile of style.

Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
Rotten

What "The Strange Color" lacks is the heart that separates a good film from a great one.

Martin Tsai, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

The filmmakers' command of the form extends to intentionally dopey performances and a total rejection of plot, all of which gets tiresome.

Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
