A sexy, nuanced, beautifully controlled examination of how a quartet of people are defined by their erotic impulses and inhibitions.Full Review

Variety

Astonishing... One of the freshest American films of the decade. [4 Aug 1989]Full Review

Caryn James
The New York Times

The kind of picture to whip out the clichés for: Surprisingly original. Delightful. Brilliant. Funny as all heck. When 1989 is through, sex, lies, and videotape may well be remembered as the best film of the year. [11 Aug 1989, Daily Datebook, p.E1]Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

A movie of prodigious power and feeling that is also high-spirited, hilarious and scorchingly erotic.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

Electrifying… As writer, director and editor, [Soderbergh’s] control is mesmerizing. It's also more than a little creepy; as though Soderbergh were drawing us, a step at a time, into a warm pool where intimate secrets flowed back and forth as simply as currents of water. [4 Aug 1989, Calendar, p.6-1]Full Review
