RogerEbert.com - Peter Sobczynski
Brian De Palma is one of the great seducers of the cinema, and he proves it with Passion, a spellbinding thriller.
75
Slant Magazine - Ed Gonzalez
Passion is a serpentine, gorgeously orchestrated gathering of all of De Palma's pet themes and conceits, a symphony of giddy terror where people perpetually hide behind masks, both literal and figurative.
75
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Passion simultaneously parodies its plot while elevating it to a strangely involving exercise in cinematic drama. The filmmaker has either lost control of the material or maintains the same calculation of his protagonists. But the entertainment value associated with that uncertainty is the essence of his career.
70
The Dissolve - Noel Murray
The movie is one long game of misdirection, playing tricks on viewers from scene to scene, and showing how easy it is to steer a crowd into missing something important. That’s the real De Palma touch, even more than the operatic overtones and excess.
58
The Playlist - Unnamed
De Palma’s heart ultimately doesn’t feel fully in this film. What Passion is lacking is, ironically, some passion.
