Lust, Caution Ratings & Reviews
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
What lingers is the suspicion that women carry a burden of war they can't ever put down, and that even noble idealists can justify turning their girls into whores.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Overwrought and overlong, Ang Lee's Lust, Caution nevertheless has some moments of exquisite beauty and a potentially star-making performance from newcomer Tang Wei.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Lust, Caution asks some patience of us, but our patience pays off.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
In a film where casting is a vital component in the edgy equation, Leung and Tang make a picturesque and dramatically compelling couple.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Lust, Caution is a major film, but it feels like a minor work in Lee's canon.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
There is plenty of lust exercised in the athletic, don't-try-this-at-home sex scenes between Hong Kong star Tony Leung and the stunning Chinese newcomer Wei Tang.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
There is deception, suspicion and self-delusion, but it all seems rendered at arm's length, despite the consummate artistry of the filmmaking.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Both a cannily constructed spy thriller and a grim kind of love story.
The Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
The film looks gorgeous but the plotting is clumsy and the acting is flat.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
By the time [Lee] gets to the lust, it is too late to throw caution to the winds.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
In the broad strokes and beautiful particularity of its bittersweet love story, Lust, Caution could not come from any other place but China.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
A quietly compelling drama of hidden desperation and fierce passions.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Mixing a stately pace with bursts of raw violence and blunt eroticism, Lust, Caution indeed deftly blends those two attitudes.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Overly extended adaptation of a short story about a female Chinese nationalist who uses sex to compromise and trap a cruel Japanese collaborator.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Like the two opposing forces in the title, the book and the film compliment and balance each other; each is, in its way, a rich experience.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Stylized and visually arresting, with intense sex scenes that earned the film an NC-17 rating, Ang Lee's Lust, Caution is an immersion into another time, place and mentality.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Lust, Caution is a disappointment coming from director Ang Lee, but it's a watchable one, and it rattles around in your head for a long time after you've seen it, as much for what it does right as for where it goes wrong.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
A freeze-dried story has been only partially defrosted.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The nature of the sex is Lee's subject, and he is too honest to suppress that.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Cruel and beautiful, emotional and infuriating, this adaptation of Eileen Chang's short story is as difficult as it is wondrous, all of it coming to an end in a head-scratching climax that's as fantastic as it is upsetting.
