Leave your thoughts about In the Cut.
| San Diego MetropolitanJean LowerisonMeg Ryan, Mark Ruffalo, Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Jason Leigh get lost in the morass of a muddy, bloody screenplay that makes little sense and leaves the viewer feeling in need of a shower, not to mention a strong drink. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIf In the Cut falls short of the masterpiece Campion intended, it's unquestionably the most ambitious and important film to come along in months. |
| Daily Mail (UK)Christopher TookeyThe overall effect is of a particularly sordid episode of Sex AndThe City, made by the confused offspring of Andrea Dworkin and the Marquis de Sade. |
| Film ThreatRick KisonakCampion and company may like to think they've made something provocative, moody and new but it's really just Looking For Mr. Goodbar with extra nuts. |
| Worcester Telegram & GazetteDaniel M. KimmelJane Campion, best known for the ugly and overrated The Piano, has tried her hand at a mainstream film. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonCampion hits the same thematic ground with the same passionate release as she did in The Piano (1993) and the underrated Holy Smoke (1999). |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelDuane DudekLife'll kill ya, lamented the late Warren Zevon. Love'll kill ya, amends Campion in a film which shows that what long has been good for the goose can cut both ways. |

| Dallas ObserverGregory WeinkaufRyan's performance burns with a rare and passionate veracity. The other half of the delight comes from director Jane Campion, whose sensualist eye and scabrous heart infuse In the Cut with guts and glory. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittGrim and sordid though it often is, the film has a steady flow of visually absorbing images. It's an art movie for the masses. |
