Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: [A] grimly beautiful and somewhat unhinged film ...
Fresh: An insidious web of money, sex and power entangles all the characters in Claire Denis' hypnotic nocturnal thriller.
Fresh: "Bastards" is a thriller truly etched in darkness, pools of black broken mostly by the stricken yet soldiering faces of her main characters, like ships in a sea of stormy nights.
Rotten: Themes resonate passionately in the moment, but as answers pile up, so too do the cracks in Denis' atmosphere-over-all-else plotting ...

Masterpiece
This is Claire Denis's finest film. A dark noir with a great cast.
A piece of Art
I really liked this film. The music combined with the artistry of this film is mesmerizing. It's a very quiet and intense piece and is well done.
