Movie Reviews

TV Guide Magazine - 8/10 by Maitland McDonaghThe story eventually resolves itself a little too neatly, but it never devolves into a freak show or a fable, thanks in large part to Farmiga and Stahl's deft, quirky performances.
Variety - 8/10 by Justin ChangA strikingly original and provocative first feature from scribe-helmer Carlos Brooks.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickThis warped masochistic cousin to David Cronenberg's "Crash" - not to be confused with the Oscar winner of the same name - is well worth seeing for Farmiga's stunning performance.
Premiere - 8/10 by Jenni MillerFans of strange love stories and detective thrillers would do well to investigate this indie gem.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Carina ChocanoStahl and Farmiga give layered, restrained performances that keep what might have been a schlock fest with an improbable twist ending from devolving into trashiness. Instead, Brooks and his actors manage to render an involving and thoughtful story from some pretty dubious material.
New York Magazine (Vulture) - 7/10 by David EdelsteinThe first half of Quid Pro Quo is among the most jaw-dropping things I"ve ever seen: Who knew there was a closeted subculture of people pretending to be paraplegics?
The New York Times - 5/10 by Stephen HoldenAfter spinning out metaphors of paralysis and eroticism in its characters' feverish imaginations, Quid Pro Quo decides at the last minute that it has to explain everything. The moment it pulls away from the fantastic, it lands with a thud.
Wall Street Journal - 5/10 by Joe MorgensternQuid Pro Quo, a bizarre but audacious debut feature by Carlos Brooks.
The A.V. Club - 5/10 by Keith PhippsStahl quietly plays the straight man, giving the usually skillful Farmiga plenty of room to overact with abandon; she plays her character as one part Rosanna Arquette in David Cronenberg's "Crash" to two parts Natalie Portman's magical life-saving pixie in "Garden State."
Village Voice - 5/10 by Jean OppenheimerFarmiga is captivating, Stahl less so--although a bigger problem is writer/director Carlos Brooks's script, which sets up one story, then shifts gears into something more personal and psychologically specific. That's normally a plus, deepening the viewer's sense of involvement, but the transition here is bumpy and, ultimately, unconvincing.
