This haunting thriller and study of the psychology of grief is one of the most accomplished, and most troubling, films by the British director Nicolas Roeg.

It is a film in which everything seems to have been sacraficed for pictorial effect.

Roeg, for all his artiness and tricks, succeeds in creating a dark and frightening experience unlike anything ever filmed.

Don't Look Now implements stylistic and oftentimes jarring editing techniques that alter the perception of what exactly is going on...

[Puts] Nicolas Roeg right up at the top as a film-maker.

There is something molten about the whole movie. That's its magic: from the colours that shift and bleed in a transparency of a stained-glass window - Sutherland's character is a restorer of churches - to the famous, graphic love scene between the stars.

Every frame is calculated perfection.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 9, 2019

Genius.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 8, 2019

A devastating portrait of grief, a master class in disjunctive editing and a haunting disquisition on the use of the color red.

The film isn't easy to classify-it's a psychodrama that occasionally sharpens into blood-curdling horror-but the experience of watching it is deeply unsettling .

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 9, 2015

It's a ghost story; it's a meditation on time, memory and the poignancy of married love. And it's a masterpiece.

Like some manic slasher on the loose, Nic Roeg cuts compulsively, severing the natural arteries between cause and effect to expose a more irrational kind of narrative continuum...a true classic, worth looking at not just now but long into the future.

Don't Look Now uses the occult and the inexplicable as Henry James did: to penetrate the subconscious, to materialize phantoms from the psyche.

| Oct 15, 2008

A frightening and consistently inventive horror story.

This British-Italian suspenser, in which the horror gets to one almost subliminally, as in Rosemary's Baby, is superior stuff.

That dwarf in a red raincoat will fry your nerves.

Not only do you probably have better things to do, but so, I'm sure, do most of the people connected with the film.

Roeg here offers one of the most disconcerting portraits of otherworldliness ever seen on the screen.

| Mar 10, 2003

Nicolas Roeg's 1973 film remains one of the great horror masterpieces, working not with fright, which is easy, but with dread, grief and apprehension.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 19, 2002

Don't Look Now is both a chilling horror film and a fascinating portrait of grief.
