Leave your thoughts about Bloody Marie.
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe chaotic violence, when co-writers/director Guido van Driel and Lennert Hillege dish it out, is frenetic — a drunk’s weaving and teetering hand-held camer chase, sudden turns towards the brutal, an assault that seems to come out of nowhere — to a drunk. |
| Film ThreatAlex SavelievA cautionary tale, a story of salvation, sad, lyrical, funny and even brutal at times, Bloody Marie is a shot of adrenaline in a landscape filled with cinematic clones. It may not be perfect, or for everyone, but it sure is spicy as hell, and it gets most of the ingredients just right. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayEven at its most pulse-pounding, Bloody Marie remains locked on its sympathetically pathetic protagonist. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeSusanne Wolff, who impressed critics last year in Wolfgang Fischer's "Styx," makes another strong turn here, grounding what could have become a merely lurid tale of dissipation, danger and sex work. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyGiven their evident talent for packaging (as opposed to content), Hillege and van Driel might next consider doing something of a more purely genre-based nature, where depth or its lack thereof won’t matter much. |
