Reviews
|
Entertainment Weekly -
The enjoyably icky heart of Bug is still contained within the airless, increasingly ''bug-proofed'' room that becomes Agnes and Peter's whole world.
|
|
New York Magazine (Vulture) -
Has the feverish compression of live theater and the moody expansiveness of film. The mix is insanely powerful.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
Friedkin's latest rivals his Druid horror flick "The Guardian" for sheer lunacy--Bug remains disconcerting, real, and raw. It poignantly suggests that some lost souls would rather be crazy and doomed than alone.
|
|
Chicago Tribune -
Ashley Judd as Agnes White, and a relative newcomer, the remarkable Michael Shannon, as Peter Evans. They're both spellbinding.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
With his (Friedkin) vigorous camera compositions and a talented cast, he manages to straddle a wickedly fine line between taught portrayal of paranoia and parody of paranoia.
