Reviews


100
Salon - Andrew O'Hehir
An extraordinary and original creation. It belongs alongside "Amores Perros" and "Memento" on a shortlist of 2001's most exciting revelations.
90
Village Voice - Amy Taubin
There are long stretches in Sexy Beast that are so exhilarating it feels churlish to dwell on its flaws.
90
The New York Times - Dana Stevens
He's (Kingsley) pure violence, a sociopath who radiates menace even while sitting perfectly still mouthing pleasantries.
88
Philadelphia Inquirer - Desmond Ryan
Glazer has a daring sense of story structure that ratchets up the suspense, and his sense for sardonic black comedy is unerring.
88
New York Daily News - Jami Bernard
Noir has never been this bright.
