Metacritic reviews

Light on dialogue and heavy on creepy atmosphere. See this movie and a visit to the tailor's will never be the same.

This dark psychological story falls short in terms of filmmaking and acting, but it's original enough to stand out from the crowd.

The atmosphere is properly bizarre and in moments even scary, but there's no involving story or characters to sustain the feature-length narrative.

Film is preposterous without being surreal; only at the Tailor's Ball -- which takes place shortly before the end -- does it strike that perfect balance between the bizarre and the curiously mundane.

Should soon join Mr. Greenaway's last few efforts in obscurity.

A ponderous, almost wordless sliver of grotesquerie.

Boring is too active a verb to describe this minimalist psychological thriller.
