Leave your thoughts about Eyes of Laura Mars.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottEyes of Laura Mars is a very stylish thriller [from a story by John Carpenter] in search of a better ending. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinIt's the cleverness of Eyes of Laura Mars that counts, cleverness that manifests itself in superlative casting, drily controlled direction from Irvin Kershner, and spectacular settings that turn New York into the kind of eerie, lavish dreamland that could exist only in the idle noodlings of the very, very hip. |
| Washington PostGary Arnold... you find yourself chewing over "Laura Mars" after the lights come up. Unfortunately, it's the kind of chew that leaves your jaw feeling tired and your mouth tasting sour. |
| Parallax ViewRichard T. JamesonClearly we are not dealing with a movie here; this is a producer's package, a market-researched gratification kit ripe for fast saturation-merchandising. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeEntertaining, trashy thriller that's sometimes laughable |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinThis movie borders on the ridiculous, but is pulled back by an aesthetic portrayal of the supernatural and by its stars. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasToo glossy to evoke real sexual tension or, more crucially in this genre, fear, Laura Mars suffers from the over complication of something so simple as serial killing. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenParts of the film are nasty enough to grip the audience, but a large portion is muddled and sometimes laughably pretentious. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertEyes of Laura Mars tries to say Serious Things about fashion photography, corruption in advertising, and the violence in our society. It does not succeed, but it tries. We would not, however, hold its Serious Things against it, if the movie also succeeded as a thriller. It doesn't, unless your idea of being thrilled is having people leap out of the shadows and then turn out to be friends. |
