Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: This bold, intense, and uncompromising expose of S&M takes audiences to places thay have not been before; in moments, it's tough to watch but quite rewarding at the end.
Fresh: Flanagan and Rose prove to be an exceptionally creative and intelligent couple who were able to turn their obsessions into art, albeit of a highly specialized kind and involving at times an overwhelmingly brutal exhibitionism.
Fresh: Does a remarkable thing in presenting extreme, sometimes revolting material and simultaneously making us like and admire Flanagan.
Fresh: One of the most agonizing films I have ever seen.
