Bitter Moon Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
Recklessly perched on the edge of the ludicrous, this examination of a destructive erotic passion unfolds with an unsettling mixture of steam and mordant iron.
Hartford Courant
Malcolm Johnson
Again, Polanski gives us a deliciously bitter, moonstruck tale of love and sex and revenge and blood, and even the possibility of redemption.

[VIDEO ESSAY] A be-all-and-end-all example of erotic drama...
TV Guide
Bitter Moon is entertaining, but in the manner of ghastly car crashes and legendary theatrical disasters; you can't take your eyes off it, but you often want to.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
It's a matter of some dispute whether Roman Polanski's letter to the darker side of the romantic impulse, but there's little question that this is his most emotionally complex movie.
Variety
Derek Elley
Strong playing by topliner Peter Coyote can't compensate for a script that's all over the map and a tone that veers from outre comedy to erotic game-playing.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
A fascinatingly ugly study of a relationship gone sour.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Polanski tempers his tale by filtering it through Grant, who receives it with a combination of disgust and fascination.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
A Freudian psychiatrist will have a field day analyzing Roman Polanski's perversely erotic tale, in which his real-life wife Emmanuelle Seigner is subjected to all kinds of physical and sexual abuses.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
This material obviously appeals to his sense of mischief, which remains alive and well.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Devilishly entertaining.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
One of Polanski's most celebrated directorial motifs, the decimation of human bodies as a reflection of their withering spirits, is brutally forthright in Bitter Moon.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Well, of course Bitter Moon is wretched excess. But Polanski directs it without compromise or apology.
Washington Post
Joe Brown
During 2 1/2 hours of choppy waters, soured love affairs and seasickly moods, the controversial director's Lust Boat becomes the Loathe Boat. By then, it's way too late for Dramamine.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
By turns funny, brilliant, shocking and downright terrible, this choppy, two-hour-plus voyage is for Polanski aficionados who don't mind watching their favorite, aging enfant terrible going gleefully under.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
A disturbing, spare story and a return to Polanski's earlier thematic ground.
