Reviews


83
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
The enjoyably icky heart of Bug is still contained within the airless, increasingly ''bug-proofed'' room that becomes Agnes and Peter's whole world.
80
New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
Has the feverish compression of live theater and the moody expansiveness of film. The mix is insanely powerful.
75
The A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin
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.
75
Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
Ashley Judd as Agnes White, and a relative newcomer, the remarkable Michael Shannon, as Peter Evans. They're both spellbinding.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
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.
