Leave your thoughts about The Tenant.
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThe Tenant carries the most shocking double climax in all of cinema. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumNightmarish, disturbing, brilliant Polanski. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezPolanski brilliantly evokes an evil society’s almost supernatural ability to recognize weakness in others and to punish all that is good. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeThe Tenant gets my vote as the most disturbing film Polanski has ever made. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThe film’s thesis isn’t as clear as his earlier efforts, but it’s still a highly effective story about how the world’s insanity poisons the mind. |
| Village VoiceJ. Hobermanit may be the director's quintessential movie. It's an exercise in urban paranoia and mental disintegration that echoes or anticipates everything from "Repulsion" and "Rosemary's Baby" to "Bitter Moon" and "The Pianist." |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis creepy psychological thriller, dealing with paranoia and split identity, is one of Polanski's most underestimated films. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanA disturbing and poignant anthology of Roman Polanski's favourite, oppressive themes. |
| CinefantastiqueSteve BiodrowskiAlthough overshadowed by director Roman Polanski's more famous horror efforts... The Tenant is in many ways superior - a haunting, mesmerizing tale of a man's loss of identity and descent into madness. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyThe film is superbly acted by Mr. Polanski, Mr. Douglas and Miss Winters, who might not be entirely convincing as a Parisian concierge in a realistic film, but who fits into this nightmare perfectly. |
