Leave your thoughts about Demonlover.
| Premiere MagazineGlenn KennyFrom the first voyeuristic peek into the ruthless world to the haunting, accusatory, unforgettable final image, it's a brilliant, stunning piece of work, perhaps not Assayas' best, but certainly his most fearless and impassioned. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanAssayas can't resist turning Demonlover into an overcalculatedly irrational rabbit-hole-to-the-dark-side thriller. The movie morphs into a ''dream,'' all right, but I confess that all I wanted to do was wake up from it and return to the slithery intrigue of corporate depravity. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanAs the thinking person's spy thriller, Demonlover delivers. Its fierce determination in deconstructing the sexual politics that are so often taken for granted in this sort of film provide more thrills than the average Bond outing. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovI enjoyed it tremendously even as I questioned the sanity of everyone involved. |
| Movie GazetteAnton BitelA bleak cyber-thriller that bids you to see through the glossy images on the screen's surface. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarDemonlover is so incomprehensible that you can't readily accuse it of being anything but almost unwatchable. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt ends up feeling like we arrived through a bad dream in Neverland. |
| The ARTerySean BurnsAssayas sometimes seems to make movies just to indulge his fetishes, which I suppose is a big reason why people become filmmakers in the first place. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean Axmaker... a brilliant, stunning piece of work, perhaps not Assayas' best, but certainly his most fearless and impassioned. |
| Los Angeles TimesManohla DargisIt's an exasperating, irresistible, must-see mess of a movie about life in the modern world and so very good that even when its story finally crashes and burns the filmmaking remains unscathed. |
