Excavates sexual trauma to darkly fascinating and meaningful effect.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 18, 2018

Despite its stellar performances, this feels like a psychological drama without much basis in actual human psychology.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 18, 2018

Teeters on the brink of pretension, but is rescued by an incendiary turn from the always interesting Evan Rachel Wood.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 18, 2018

Allure sets itself up to be an erotic thriller, but is all the better for avoiding cheap bunny boiler tropes, and instead focusing on character.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 17, 2018

Deeply unsettling, but ultimately unsatisfying psychological drama that over-manipulates its specious situation.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 6, 2018

One well-crafted and unsettling tale.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 5, 2018

The utterly humorless script of Allure often makes for uneasy viewing.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 16, 2018

The filmmakers seem less concerned with telling a story than in convincing the audience (and maybe themselves) that they can handle this provocative and potentially exploitive material ... with what's conventionally considered "appropriate" sensitivity.

There's no reprieve from the dour tone of Carlos and Jason Sanchez's film.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 13, 2018
