Leave your thoughts about The Perfection.
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshLike leading lady Williams, the exterior of The Perfection is flawless, covering up the darkness that lies beneath. The wild ride in store is both supremely disturbing and unpredictable. But rendered with such care, skill and sheer glee — it’s utterly divine. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyIt delivers. The Perfection is a pure hit of twisted, absurd camp catnip. |
| ConsequenceAlex HuntsbergerThe film is more than an accumulation of shocking twists and surprises. It’s a tawdry but perceptive meditation on the ways that victims of abuse build walls to protect themselves from harm — and the great lengths that someone would have to go to knock those walls down. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckA stylishly made, nail-biting effort that proves consistently engrossing. |
| The New York TimesJason BaileyThis is a filmmaker aware of the conventions, who wields them with wit and precision and knows his audience is on the gag as well. In many ways, The Perfection amounts to little more than a bag of tricks. But no one is pretending otherwise. And they’re good tricks. |
| Rolling StoneDavid FearThere’s a certain quality of watchfulness and wiles-using Williams brings to this damaged, possibly deranged protagonist that suggests instability hiding behind her shiny hair and perfect teeth. |
| IGNRosie KnightIf you like weird, boundary-pushing, and unexpected movies that divide audiences you'll probably love The Perfection. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeThe Perfection takes deep, fetishistic satisfaction in pushing the envelope, then pushing it some more, building in seductive fits and shocking starts to an orgiastic frenzy of cinematic excess. Is it a progressive movie? Not especially, but that’s okay as long as you know what you’re getting into. |
| Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpAt its best, The Perfection is an homage to 1970s horror movies and 1980s thrillers, a glorious, multi-hewed mind screw. |
| The GuardianBenjamin LeeThere’s a rare unpredictability that initially proves alluring, at least until that confusion starts to feel less intentional. |
