Critic Reviews

This is pure filmmaking, elegant and slippery. I haven't had as much fun second-guessing a movie since "Mulholland Drive."Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Here, the message is the moviemaking and the unparalleled joy you get from a film that can carry you off so completely, making you forget about everything save for the beautiful lies in front of you.Full Review

Manohla Dargis
Los Angeles Times

The story, to the extent that it is comprehensible, is pretentious and banal, closer to "Vanilla Sky" than "Notorious." But Mr. De Palma proves that, in the absence of insight or ideas, some amazing things are possible. It is possible, for instance, to be entranced by a movie without believing it for a second.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

Much like David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive," which it resembles in more ways than one, Femme Fatale makes a rich bouillabaisse out of De Palma's trademark themes and obsessions, stacking references to the heavens and operating with an internal logic that may take several viewings to fully unpack.Full Review

Scott Tobias
The Onion (A.V. Club)

An extravagant suspense cocktail of wacky and lascivious ingredients that goes down fine.Full Review
