Leave your thoughts about Boarding Gate.
| Slant MagazineDavid PhelpsBoarding Gate, B-movie heir to Phil Karlson and Ingmar Bergman, screws any pretence of naturalism for hallucinatory confrontations. |
| SpinTroy PattersonCombining elements of a D-grade erotic thriller and a deconstructed international thriller, Boarding Gate proves duly snazzy and sleazy - kinda skanky in a highfalutin' way. |
| Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeChock full of elements that never spark beyond one-sheet dimension. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlLike just about everything in Boarding Gate, the finale suggests that its creators have been watching too many other movies with similar premises and payoffs. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteWriter-director Olivier Assayas must have been working out some personal demons to make something as embarrassing as Boarding Gate, the most trite and trivial piece of sleaze since Abel Ferrara's Snake Eyes. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsRob Lowman[Assayas] has concocted a plot that is dizzying and annoying at times, and it's hard to care about the characters in the shifting story. But B-movie veteran Argento's portrayal of Sandra is like watching a car careening down an incline. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyCall it a cinema of guilty pleasure, and don't worry if you fall asleep in your seat after the sex scene is over. You won't be alone. |
| New York PressArmond WhiteBoarding Gate's decadent fancies are appalling. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIn the "B" movie days, a story like this would shoot by in about 70 minutes without time to pick holes in the motives. But Assayas takes a bloated, boring 106 minutes. |
| Film ThreatMatthew SorrentoWhen all the nonsense of Boarding Gate ends, only Asia remains in memory. She can light up the best and the worst of 'em. |
