Leave your thoughts about Distorted.
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"Distorted" plays one too many tricks, and its casting is abysmal. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA would-be psychological thriller that manages to be both boring and goofy...generates tedium rather than tension. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA slick and gripping psychological thriller that fizzles out by the end. Christina Ricci's raw, convincingly moving performance is one of the best of her career which somewhat compensates for the screenplay's lack of emotional depth. |
| StarburstJohn HigginsThanks to Ricci's excellent performance as Lauren and Cusack's balanced supporting role, Disjointed will certainly find favour with fans of classic Canadian cult offerings. |
| Film InquiryAlex ArabianDistorted leaves viewers with a disjointed, unoriginal story, a made-for-TV feel, and underwhelming thrills, with the only saving graces being the presence of Ricci and Cusack. |
| Film ThreatNick Rocco ScaliaAll told, Distorted doesn't entirely waste but also doesn't do much justice to a premise that, in the right hands, could have elicited more thrills, more relevance, or, at least, more obvious interest in its own ideas. |
| Eye for FilmJennie Kermode[Christina] Ricci is impressive, however, working hard with what she's got to create a character we can believe in even when what's happening to and around her stretches credulity. |
| Village VoiceApril WolfeIf there’s one thing I can say for this movie, it’s that the cast is delivering, even if the story they’re in cannot. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonWhile the premise is mildly intriguing, the film's reliance on visual gimmickry never serves to establish consistent suspense before the whole thing runs off the rails in the incoherent final act. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayWhat the movie does have going for it is Ricci, who in the past few years has become a master at playing offbeat heroines in violent stories. Ricci is convincingly terrified in a film that’s never scary enough to justify her performance. |
