Manu (Raffaela Anderson) shoots a man with his own gun and runs off with his money. Later that night, she makes the acquaintance of Nadine (Karen Bach), a woman whose clean-cut appearance belies the fact that she has recently strangled her overbearing roommate.

Critic Reviews

  • Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

    The mix of real sex and fake-looking violence in this 2000 French feature is curiously unprovocative.

  • Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle

    Baise-Moi is like a cheapie, vintage American exploitation movie, only one that goes so far beyond the bounds of taste that its affrontiveness becomes in large part what the film is about.

  • Jay Carr, Boston Globe

    Too ideologically earnest for the porn crowd and too hard-core for serious audiences.

  • Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

    As art, it is all badly done.

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    A caterwauling punk anthem on film, a vengeful fantasia served up with digital rawness.

    It?s just Sex and violence. It pushes the boundaries of censorship but at the end of the day, if you want porn, get a porn film and if you want violence, get Natural Born Killers. This isn't worth it!

  • Randy T


    Graphically hardcore. The story of two young women who go on a cross-country crime spree. Makes <i>Thelma and Louise</i> look like a lighthearted Disney movie.

  • Cassandra M


    ome films are made to just be provocative. Add some sex sequences and some violence and you get a wave of anger and insult in response of what the director wanted to point out. Baise Moi is a masterpiece which should be seen by consentant adults ready to face reality and who want to… More

  • El Hombre I


    This is a film that deals with the ideas of losing one's humanity, our views on sex and violence, and the obliteration of the soul. Nadine and Manu have been so harmed by the world that they become monsters, killing with blind rage. They are the epitome of random violence.… More
