Leave your thoughts about Audition.
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.I was offended, I was shocked, and I was stunned. |
| The Film YapNick RogersIt's Japanese provocateur Takashi Miike's best film - a mordant spin on "Little Red Riding Hood" with sexist expectations as the wolf on which the tables are turned. Its "kiri, kiri" refrain also is the Zeroes' answer to "Is it safe?" from "Marathon Man." |
| Radio TimesAlan JonesIf you can stomach it, this profoundly moving film will leave you dazed. |
| Screen InternationalEdna FainaruTakashi Miike's startling blend of gentle family melodrama and graphic horror is easy to either admire or hate, but impossible to ignore. |
| SlateDavid EdelsteinDuring the ghastly, surreal climax, I had fun closing one eye and with the other watching various ashen older men stumble toward the exit. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAudition's take on the war between the sexes is bleak and almost entirely devoid of hope. --It's enough to make you give up dating altogether. |
| Chicago TribunePatrick Z. McGavinCreates an atmosphere of frenzy that is both powerful and unforgettable, providing neither solace nor comfort. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachThe faint of heart might want to leave early. If you elect to stay, remember: You were warned. |
| StarburstAndrew PollardA divine and delicious slice of Asian horror that is worthy of its status as an iconic piece of not just Asian horror or J-horror, or even horror as a whole, but as an iconic piece of cinema. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezPlays out like a comfy companion piece to Shall We Dance? only to morph into a torturous freakshow worthy of Baise-moi. |
