Leave your thoughts about Cube.
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsFor his first feature, Canadian director Vincenzo Natali has, like the setting of his film, created a complex piece of work around an essentially simple foundation. |
| Jam! MoviesBruce KirklandImpossible not to be engaged intellectually. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonCube is one of those rare films that make you itch uncomfortably on the inside. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasEven though there are tedious stretches with less-than-riveting characters, the film gradually pulls you into its claustrophobic spell and becomes acutely suspenseful in its final half-hour. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonA bizarre, frightening, and clever new low-budget movie with a "Twilight Zone"-ish premise. |
| L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyAlthough character arcs are a little too abruptly truncated as the story moves, Natali never fumbles the big picture. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...an inventive (if inconsistent) bit of sci-fi fun. |
| The New York TimesAnita GatesCube, the story in question, proves surprisingly gripping, in the best ''Twilight Zone'' tradition. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim Brayton[Director Vincenzo] Natali's handling of mood and pace leave Cube one of the tightest horror-thrillers of the late '90s. |
