Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"A psychosexual horror film with a seam of black comedy lying under the surface, Nicolas Pesce's PIERCING offers a sadomasochistic two-hander and dares viewers to figure out who's on top at any given moment." - 01/28/2018 Hollywood Reporter
"The film is expertly crafted with jewel-toned cinematography, terrifically sleazy saxophone music, and performances by Abbott and Wasikowska that take turns seizing command." - 01/21/2019 Variety
"Pesce still delivers a handful of demented jolts in the movie’s back half..." - 01/29/2019 A.V. Club
3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] beautifully stylized, highly demented take on the power dynamics of men and women..." - 02/02/2019 Rolling Stone
"PIERCING is decidedly not for everybody, but it somehow avoids exploitative luridness, thanks in part to the peculiar aura of uneasy innocence that Abbott and Wasikowska create around their roles." - 01/31/2019 Los Angeles Times
3 stars out of 5 -- "The dream-team pairing of Abbott and Wasikowska, two of the most interesting, subtle and risk-loving performers of their generation, is a huge compensation." - 02/15/2019 The Guardian
