A gorgeous, ridiculous mess. I love you de Palma

Loved this. For once it was subtle and not heavy-handed, cheesy or in bad taste. Am amazed actually. I actually loved it. He managed to let his worst fade away and let his best come forth. Win.

This neo-noir thriller is stronger during its first half stumbling a bit towards the end, mainly because of the actress cast as the lesbian secretary responsible for the final twist and the introduction of dream scenes. Despite of all the eye-candy and polish look of the sets and clothes, it felt a little too much. However the cat/mouse relationship between Christine and Isabelle keeps it interesting throughout.

A giant raspberry blown in the direction of narrative plausibility. Good to have De Palma doing his deliberately ridiculous thing again, though the first half hour is a real drag, even if like myself you can adjust to the campy postmodern universe most of his thrillers take place in. Also, most of it seems to have been filmed inside of a expressionistically-lit Apple Store. Dunno if that's a + or a -.

In spite of having all the ingredients to become a memorable genre film Passion is indisputabily grotesque. The outdated camera movements, the poor acting and directing and above all the wacky screenplay, preclude the spectator from surrendering to the film and sadly leads him to interpret it as a parody.

I was so excited for this, (I mean, a new De Palma, how could I contain myself!) but then after watching it, I really wanted to like it, but I kinda hated it. Script falls flat, it was almost like it was half-done, and yet it could've been so much better since the performances were pretty good and the score was great.

Holy crap, what a train wreck. The acting was barely above par and sometimes really bad for such an accomplished cast. I am shocked that a master like De Palma directed this. But to be honest, he has not made a good movie since the 90's so maybe he should just pack it in. The script is OK but the direction is woeful. I had really looked forward to a return to form from De Palma, but this just made me very sad. :(
