December 24, 2008A sexually charged murder mystery that was controversial in the US, perhaps for its unromantic graphic sex scenes. As a murder mystery it is very average indeed and the experimental cinematography was kind of distracting at times.

July 23, 2007Really impressed with this one, hadn't heard of it before and not the type of film I would've expected Meg Ryan to have been in, but she did a very good job, as did Mark Ruffalo.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
A muddle of thriller and art-house phantasmagoria. full review

In the Cut isn't just a movie about decapitation; it's a decapitated movie. It has no idea where its head is at. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
A disjointed, sometimes fascinating melange of moods, associations and effects. full review
