What to Know

Critics Consensus

Director/co-writer Jane Campion takes a stab at subverting the psycho-sexual thriller genre with In the Cut, but gets tangled in her own abstraction.

Campion’s In the Cut is a criminally neglected masterpiece... Go to Full Review Philippa Snow New Statesman 02/18/2021
In the Cut is masterful in its suggestion of the ambient, omnipresent air of sexual threat that exists in traditional heterosexual dynamics. Go to Full Review Joshua Rothkopf In These Times 03/16/2020
Meg Ryan is desperately, unpersuasively naked in Jane Campion's ludicrous erotic thriller... Go to Full Review Ray Pride Newcity Feb 13
10/10
A raw, tactile consideration of the mystery and suspense of touch and want. Her style is gorgeous and discomfiting, with febrile camera moves, warm yet cloacal lighting, gestures in ruby-and-amber haze. Go to Full Review Diana Tuova Loud and Clear Reviews 11/12/2024
4/5
Campion paired a crime story with her heroine’s transformative, erotically-charged journey of self-discovery, and the result is a luscious drama of much emotional insight... Go to Full Review Justine Smith Vague Visages 06/06/2024
In The Cut doesn’t quite bring together all its disparate threads. The film thrives as it tackles the cerebral and contradictory desires of Frannie, but can’t quite wrap up the murder mystery in the story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jo S @jos10 Jan 4 I need to rewatch it to focus on the aspects of the film I liked besides the soft you-know-what (couldn’t think of a euphemism.) See more Alain E @AlainE Jun 14 Visually superb with saturated colors in low lighting. The story creates ambiguity about the character played by Mark Ruffalo. Meg Ryan looks lovely and interprets her conflicted persona very well. The movie rewards the patient viewer, but obviously its intended audience is not people who want to see a classic crime movie. See more angela g @Sunflower378 01/06/2025 I liked this movie it was really good the whodunit story is good the acting is great from meg Ryan Mark r Kevin bacon jenifer Jason league really good movie watch it See more Hurtin F 10/12/2024 I used to like Meg Ryan, but I was shocked by her role in this. She plays the dumbest skank I've ever seen.. and having known a few dumb as rocks skanks in my life, not one was as dumb or as skanky as Meg in this stupid movie, to the point that I found her level of stupid skankiness completely unbelievable. Hard pass. See more Tammy D 10/05/2024 what a waste of time. low grade soft porn at best. no real storyline. I will never get those minutes back See more Steven t @SST609 09/23/2024 Really good idea for the movie but it just doesn't work. The look of the.movie is great with a 80s Trinity look and feel. However it just doesn't come together. See more Read all reviews
