Amer (Bitter)


The critical consensus

A glorious celebration of giallo.

****(*)Jamie Dunn, The Skinny, 28/12/2010

Not for everyone, but fans of Dario Argento will find plenty to like about this otherworldly study of sex and sensuality.

***(*)(*)Sam Toy, Empire Online, 03/01/2011

Bruno Forzani and Hélène Cattet’s baroque Belgian beauty pays homage to ’70s Italian horror but brims with its own sexualised currents of threat and promise.

****(*)kevin Harley, Total Film, 02/01/2011

It is heady, head-scratching fun.

***(*)(*)Leo Robson, Financial Times, 05/01/2011

Amer is finally little more than a prolonged tease of a movie; provocation without a purpose.

**(*)(*)(*)Xan Brooks, The Guardian, 06/01/2011

This is art-house horror, a pure cinema for connoisseurs, a return to late-19th-century decadence.

Philip French, The Observer, 09/01/2011
