Critic Reviews

  • Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle

    Denis is an extraordinarily reticent storyteller.

  • Chris Fujiwara, Boston Globe

    Trouble Every Day is a success in some sense, but it's hard to like a film so cold and dead.

  • Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

    Here the love scenes all end in someone screaming. Maybe there's a metaphor here, but figuring it out wouldn't make Trouble Every Day any better.

  • Mark Rahner, Seattle Times

    I'm not sure these words have ever been together in the same sentence: This erotic cannibal movie is boring.

  • Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

    Watching Trouble Every Day, at least if you don't know what's coming, is like biting into what looks like a juicy, delicious plum on a hot summer day and coming away with your mouth full of rotten pulp and living worms.

    Not Vincent Gallo at his best but Claire Denis?s direction is. It?s a bit slow (or atmospheric) to get started and It?s a bit disturbing but stick with it, you?ll be glad you did!

  • Hassan V


    Haunting, Sexy and Terrifying with great reserved art direction and a shivering soundtrack by Tindersticks.

  • Mike T


    Claire Denis exercises brilliant directorial control in this brooding, deeply shocking film. The pacing of the story disarms the audience, so that when it reaches its gruesome climax we feel it on a physical level. Beatrice Dalle is terrifying in her limited amount of screen time, and… More
