Search: Directed by Roman Polanski

An enjoyably salacious, seedy experience.

Unlike many of his other films where there are underlying touches of humor, Polanski plays this one more as a straight comedy.

A dense and dark storyline that is compelling in and of itself, rather than simply ladelling on lots of game-changing twists.

A suspenseful, intelligent thriller.

Polanski and Depp conspire to plant seeds of doubt in the minds of the audience.

Polanski has crafted something that already feels like a classic film, beautiful to look at, combining accurate period detail with a certain gothic expressionism and brimming with earthy characters and high drama.

Polanski makes a familiar story of persecution and inhumanity utterly fresh.

The beauty of this film is that as it carries us along we see how Carole's every reaction makes sense, even whilst occasional glimpses through the eyes of others show clearly that she has completely lost it.

his film ingeniously lays a horror tale over what are, for the most part, perfectly normal events often experienced by pregnant women and it is its subtlety which is its strength.

Seigner is wonderfully playful and her bold risk taking shows how much she trusts Polanski.
