In keeping with his concept that the mind and the body are inseparable, Sade builds to an extraordinarily powerful centerpiece when the two come together, fusing fear and desire, pleasure and pain, innocence and enlightenment.Full Review

In its quiet, literate way, the film is almost as subversive as its central character.Full Review

The New York Times

What an amazing little film. God love the French. They make movies with ideas in them, other than: How many cars can we blow up?Full Review

Embellished but triumphant.Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle

Sensationalism and doom are not on screen here; Jacquot offers a relatively peaceful moment in Sade's life.Full Review
