Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: In addition to being the toughest comedy since Little Murders, and the most imaginative comedy since Catch 22, Carnal Knowledge represents a nearly ideal collaboration of directorial and writing talents. – Bosley Crowther, New York Times, Jul 16, 2008

Fresh: A rather superficial and limited probe of American male sexual hypocrisies. – Variety Staff, Variety, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: Stays within the universe of its characters, and inhabits it totally. And within that universe, men and woman fail to find sexual and personal happiness because they can't break through their patterns of treating each other as objects. – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times, Jul 7, 2010
