Seen from a slightly removed perspective, the film becomes a stylized variation on conservative AIDS panic and a provocation to conservative heteronormativity. It has to be said that not all of the film has aged well.

| Original Score: 77/100 | Nov 24, 2023

This is a horror film based on the sanctity of the family -- the dream family. It enforces conventional morality (in the era of AIDS) by piling on paranoiac fear. The family that kills together stays together, and the audience is hyped up.

However lethal Alex may be, Lyne introduces notes of empathy in an ingenious way...

| Jun 23, 2023

It’s a fine line between pathos and ridiculousness, and Close walks it like a velvet tightrope.

| May 5, 2023

As a thriller it has a start that rises with the presence of Glenn Close, but its degree of intrigue ends up being cut off easily when it interrogates guilt, obsession and the ethical corollaries of adultery in a sanitized zone. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 4, 2023

Even though she’s robbed of the original, arguably more feminist finale, Close remains the movie’s beating heart, not to be ignored.

Fatal Attraction evolves toward the cheaply manipulative and silly.

| Dec 7, 2022

Save for the horror-movie finale (which, despite being unforgettable, is something of a misstep), there's nothing too overblown or exaggerated about this harrowing duel.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Sep 6, 2020

Fatal Attraction may remain an influence on the genre but something could be said about the depiction of mental health in the film.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 25, 2020

There are so many reasons Fatal Attraction is such a great film but first and foremost is the cast.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 28, 2020

...a justifiably iconic '80s release that still holds up relatively all these years later.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 25, 2020

Fatal Attraction is a shameless stew of sensationalist effects, destined to give the appearance of a movie to its absolute emptiness. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Apr 22, 2020

Until it goes berserk in the last reel or so, Fatal Attraction is an absorbing drama of civilized adultery that gets less civilized as it goes on to its inevitable conclusion.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 5, 2019

The premise of the movie is a simple extension of Newsweek's statistics. When the alarm on a woman's biological clock goes off, she becomes a demon that will not be denied.

| Aug 29, 2019

A quite unremarkable film in most ways, with its B-movie conceits, cliché- strewn screenplay and derivative effects.

| Apr 9, 2019

Under the direction of Adrian Lyne, most of the picture's situations seem like randomly chosen place holders, flat events that just fill time until the final bizarre confrontation.

| Jun 12, 2013

Solid direction, ,thrilling set pieces, and an iconic performance from Glenn Close. It's a sleazy movie, but an extremely watchable one. The entertainment value for this one is very high.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 30, 2013

A crowd-pleasing sensationalist jejune romantic thriller.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 22, 2011

Adultery-obsession thriller isn't for kids (or bunnies).

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 31, 2010

a pure film for adults, and it manages to walk a tightrope between reprehensible behavior and business as usual

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 11, 2010
