He doesn't know that two fallen angels who've been sent to upend him are manipulating his interest. He interviews young women, video tapes screen tests, and selects several for the film.

The fallen angels are always close at hand: is François's ruin inevitable?
Leave your thoughts about The Exterminating Angels.
| AV ClubNoel MurrayThe problem with Exterminating Angels is that its explanatory side overwhelms its playfully perverse side. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerA complex, confessional examination of [Jean-Claude Brisseau's] twisted, thorny and ultimately ambiguous feelings toward women and sex. |
| Bryant Frazer's Deep FocusBryant FrazerErection-inducing but borderline gynophobic. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy Klein... plenty of heat, not all that much light. |
| Murphy's Movie ReviewsTed Murphy... the film is passably entertaining but dramatically inert. |
| House Next DoorKeith UhlichThe beauties of Brisseau's movies lie in their defiantly messy imperfections: pretty poison all the way. |
| culturevulture.netGeorge WuIf the movie was meant to render sympathy to Brisseau, it only reinforces how monstrously repugnant he is. The audacity to suggest his complete innocence makes the whole thing seem like black comedy, only the core sentiment is not funny. |
| VarietyLisa NesselsonBrisseau trains his deft camera on the crescendo of female sexual pleasure and how women can heighten the intensity of already blissful sensations via transgressive flourishes. If exiting viewers could all be asked "Was it good for you?" the likely answer is "Yes." |
| Las Vegas WeeklyJosh BellIt's hard to tell if Brisseau is a raging misogynist or a radical feminist, and what makes the movie interesting is that he's probably a little bit of both. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas[Director] Brisseau calculatedly offsets the silliness of the surreal elements and the earnestness applied to the sex by savoring the overall absurdity. |
