..Eyes of Laura Mars still slaps in 2025, largely because it’s the closest US cinema got to making a proper giallo; even if it’s not the cinematic game-changer intended, this is still a lot of fun to watch, glossy, self-aware and entertainingly trashy…

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 30, 2025

The performances from Dunaway (startled, haughty, imperious) and Jones (deadpan, epicene) are utterly fabulous.

Eyes of Laura Mars is the most elegant film of the season. [Full review in Spanish]

In many ways, it’s a subtle, funny movie.

| Sep 18, 2023

An intriguing premise and some solid work from Dunaway earn Eyes of Laura Mars a recommendation, but one can't help but feel like the film is pulling its punches, building to a rather unsatisfying climax.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 8, 2023

...a mesmerizing mix of high fashion, disco culture, slasher thrills, and pre-gentrification New York at its grittiest.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 31, 2023

...the story acts as a framework on which to hang some superlative acting, cinematography, and set design, while manipulating the audience in a way that makes an impact even today.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 8, 2022

The movie is glossy and fussy, and never really uses the "seeing-through-another's-eyes" idea in any visual, cinematic way.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 15, 2022

Director Irvin Kershner's work on this kinky thriller somehow convinced George Lucas to hire him for The Empire Strikes Back.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 30, 2022

In the pantheon of great New York films, Eyes of Laura Mars is rarely mentioned ... but it stands the test of time as one of the very best.

| Oct 8, 2021

This taut and glamorous American giallo is so quintessentially '70s that its very existence feels like a day well spent at the museum of sleek lines and cocaine excess.

| Sep 10, 2021

The Eyes of Laura Mars is a movie for all as ages... to avoid.

| Aug 5, 2021

This is effectively an American giallo, and fittingly so - the original spec script was by John Carpenter.

| Jul 2, 2021

Kershner turns the film into an exercise of stylistic excess...

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 8, 2020

...the simple idea of inverting the male gaze and giving it to a woman feels pretty revolutionary in a horror film from the late 70s.

| Feb 22, 2020

Eyes of Laura Mars is nothing but a hidden attempt to repeat one of the greatest hits of two seasons ago: Lamont Johnson's Lipstick. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 1, 2019

Irvin Kerschner's stylish 1978 paranormal thriller has a premise ahead of its time.

| Nov 16, 2018

Parts of the film are nasty enough to grip the audience, but a large portion is muddled and sometimes laughably pretentious.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 26, 2018

... you find yourself chewing over "Laura Mars" after the lights come up. Unfortunately, it's the kind of chew that leaves your jaw feeling tired and your mouth tasting sour.

| Oct 4, 2017

Clearly we are not dealing with a movie here; this is a producer's package, a market-researched gratification kit ripe for fast saturation-merchandising.
