Leave your thoughts about Hungry Hearts.
| Portland OregonianMarc MohanDespite the solid performances (Roberta Maxwell as Jude's mother is the exception), the one-note intensity wears you down, until a shocking coda wraps things up. It turns out that being trapped in a bathroom together is nothing compared to being trapped in a marriage, or a nearly two-hour movie, with a crazy person. |
| New York Daily NewsKatharine PushkarAs the couple’s life becomes more and more insular, Costanzio subtly builds the drama into suspense that’s utterly natural and smart. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriBased on a novel by Marco Franzoso, Hungry Hearts is a riveting, relentless film. It may also be an infuriating one, and not always in a good way. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinDubious ending aside, Constanzo's approach to structuring, shooting and pacing the tricky material proves masterful and memorable. |
| The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicWith a unique blend of style and content, an escalating discomfort in atmosphere, a score that sounds like it was spawned from the nether regions of hell, and three ferocious performances, Hungry Hearts is this year’s most unique horror film. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungThe idea is original enough to pique curiosity, and the small cast, led by Alba Rohrwacher and the up-and-coming Adam Driver of HBO’s Girls fame, digs gamely into the material, but something is missing. |
| Village VoiceSerena DonadoniHungry Hearts owes much to early Polanski (especially Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby), but Costanzo prizes ambiguity over tension. |
| New York PostKyle SmithBeginning as an adorable romcom, Hungry Hearts morphs into a disturbing but not particularly illuminating story of mental illness. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThroughout, Saverio Costanzo hypocritically drapes his scenes in a cloak of faux-empathy. |
| VarietyJay WeissbergIt’s as if the director can’t decide what he wants: to chronicle the disintegration of a family, or to take a magnifying glass to a woman whose mania overwhelms all rational thought. |
