Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 100.00/100.00

Carnal Knowledge is clearly Mike Nichols' best film. It sets out to tell us certain things about these few characters and their sexual crucifixions, and it succeeds.

DVD重刷。尼科尔斯这部的画面很像波兰斯基的《唐人街》(难道因为都是尼科尔森主演?),配色油腻晦暗,即便尼科尔森身边的女人容颜和身材都很顶也无法照亮这让人反胃的画面(尼科尔斯还特意安排了一场全白色的女一滑冰的戏)。关键这视觉风格也不符合主题啊?电影主线是尼科尔森的情感(勾女)生涯,先睡了朋友的女友,又找了个大胸女,渐渐被婚姻生活搞的精神崩溃,想拉同学玩换妻结果当年人也不搭理他了,电影基本就是自然主义的展示了一个耽于交欢的男人的生活碎片,年轻时厚着脸皮勾搭,同居了看同一个女人天天呆在家里心里发堵……角色本身不新鲜,对生活没什么深谋远虑或者勾女技巧展示,始终被自己性欲推动着,茫然而坚定的依此存活着,挺无聊一人。最后由老相好点出他的魅力来自坚强,但可能也是她的老话术罢了

Staff (Not Credited) · Variety 50.00/100.00

Mike Nichols' Carnal Knowlede is a rather superficial and limited probe of American male sexual hypocrisies.
