Leave your thoughts about Angelica.
| Screen InternationalMark AdamsAn unusual and often hauntingly strange film, Angelica is given life thanks to Jena Malone’s impressive performance, which juggles mounting hysteria with a gentle sense of passion. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThis is an alternately handsome and harrowing ghost story, about a civilized society haunted by its own unspeakable needs. |
| Village VoiceSimon AbramsQueer writer-director Mitchell Lichtenstein (the mind behind the vagina dentata horror-comedy Teeth) and an impressive team of collaborators inspire laughs and/or terror out of the libidinal hang-ups of frail stay-at-home mom Constance (Jena Malone) and her unfulfilled spouse, Joseph (Ed Stoppard). |
