Critic Reviews

It's a thin line between 20th-century Nazism and 21st-century corporate culture in Heartbeat Detector, Nicolas Klotz's rewardingly chilly psychological thriller.Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

Amalric gives another in a recent string of riveting performances, and Klotz gets a lot of play out of the ironic distance between musical expression and corporate rigor.Full Review

Noel Murray
The Onion A.V. Club

A rich, vexing experience.Full Review

Michael Phillips
Chicago Tribune

Here, knowledge and understanding raise more questions than they answer, and the film ends not in closure, but in openness. It is precisely those qualities that give Heartbeat Detector its epic sense of humanity. Take them away and you'd be left with a leaner but markedly less compelling workaday workplace thriller: "Michael Clayton" with Nazis instead of lawyers.Full Review

Village Voice

Both pertinent and discomfiting, this sober, well-cast drama remains quietly riveting, despite its 140-minute running time.Full Review
