Polanski's directing is marvelously assured and Depp is always fun to watch.

Hildy at beach 5.00/5.00

这片子我应该是看过解说，原片确实很有感染力，眼神，道具，节奏都非常好，时而紧张时而舒缓。男主还有跟羊一起坐车的场景。对权力的渴望让人死守着几百年的传统渴望自己可以感动恶魔，也让人对现有的荣华富贵不满足不择手段想得到与上帝同样的位置，可是一切到最后都成空，被选定的就是被选定的。最后女主是真的会飞！不是错觉。

Michael Wilmington · Chicago Tribune 75.00/100.00

Elegant, scary fun.
