Steven Rea · Philadelphia Inquirer 88.00/100.00

Has a dreamy ominousness about it, and a sorrowfulness that speaks to the artificial intimacies of cellular communication, digital images and dial-up porn.

Zaggy 🇵🇸 4.00/5.00

原来在《登机门》之前阿萨亚斯还尝试过这部更复杂,混乱,露骨的corporate espionage thriller,对老派间谍片和香港卧底片的变调,全换为女人与女人间的尔虞我诈double crossing,再颠覆我们对这一类型里所谓人物心理弧光交代的期待(yes, we don't know anything, really)。从Y2K开始阿萨亚斯就对许多类似主题持续的着迷反复出现在他不同类型和题材的影片中:人类对新技术(尤其暗网互联网在2002年就拍成这样了)的痴迷至异化,全球跨国资本中操持着多重语言的人丢失了身份与寄托所,女性视角下总陷于失控边缘的欲望(通常镜头与剪辑总跟随着主角相应地发狂失控),难以言说晦暗不明却极具诱惑的危险,主角/镜头/观众我们永远害怕深渊却总忍不住对它凝视。

Michael O'Sullivan · Washington Post 80.00/100.00

Disturbing, darkly beautiful.
