Leave your thoughts about Alexandra's Project.
| Film ScoutsJason GorberIt plays as part thriller, part psycho drama, but really tends to play around with the genres rather than settle in for the ride. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinIt's a contrived -- though carefully crafted -- bit of movie gamesmanship that sometimes seems like a claustrophobic stunt. |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. Nesbitnihilistic film covers familiar territory in a fresh new way that is extremely memorable |
| Sympatico.caAngela BaldassarreEven though the performances are terrific and the claustrophobic atmospherics effective, the film elicits more anger than praise. |
| Toronto StarGeoff PevereIt's a movie that will leave few men unrattled and many women vicariously satisfied. |

It's the tension and performances that pull you through, never letting your attention stray from what's going down on-screen. |
| Sunday Times (Australia)Shannon J. HarveyAn edgy little Aussie thriller that will have husbands shaking in their shoes, Alexandra's Project is a film like no other. |
| Globe and MailStephen ColeActress Helen Buday is coolly persuasive in the seesaw role of an unbalanced housewife who jerks from despair to anger. |
