Baise-moi Reviews
What we have here is a hard-core and sometimes condomed "Thelma and Louise" with a good dose of Russ Meyer's "Faster Pussycat Kill Kill" thrown in.

The mix of real sex and fake-looking violence in this 2000 French feature is curiously unprovocative.

Baise-Moi is like a cheapie, vintage American exploitation movie, only one that goes so far beyond the bounds of taste that its affrontiveness becomes in large part what the film is about.

Too ideologically earnest for the porn crowd and too hard-core for serious audiences.

I've seen 15-minute porno loops that display more tenderness toward the human condition than this nihilistic broadside.
| Original Score: 0/5 | Jul 30, 2001
Like an eager kid trying too hard to be noticed, it ends up just being tiresome.
| Jul 20, 2001
As art, it is all badly done.
| Jul 20, 2001
A caterwauling punk anthem on film, a vengeful fantasia served up with digital rawness.
| Original Score: B- | Jul 16, 2001
Didactic, clumsily directed and abysmally acted.
| Jul 13, 2001
More of a bluff.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 13, 2001
In railing against the exploitation of women, the movie is itself quite often exploitative.

A fast-moving shocker, but it's a dull shocker, so morally dead that it deadens you to watch it.

Lacks the sophistication, wit and style needed to lift it to a higher level.
Full Review | Jul 12, 2001
An exploitation movie reduced to its grindhouse essence.
Full Review | Jul 6, 2001
A crude piece of work, unfocused, slackly structured and rambling.

The result is like something you'd see momentarily unscrambled on a hotel television set, but with better music and a little more of a story line.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 5, 2001
Too pleased with the debased romanticism of its slapdash self to outrage a shock-primed audience.

Baise-moi is the kind of film that Ferrara would have made during the 70s, when Times Square was something more than a Disney theme park.
