The Playlist
The film is borderline installation-worthy, and would probably work just as well if the scenes were drastically re-arranged. - 80
Empire
A mysterious and disorientating blend of giallo violence, cinematic experimentation and Lynchian psychohorror. Revel in its bonkers beauty. - 75
Film.com
Lengthy passages are unrelated to any discernible narrative, and seem to exist in that interzone your mind travels through just before it goes to sleep. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
The main point of the film remains its style, which is so constantly and loudly reinforced that it’s often hard to concentrate on the story. - 60
Total Film
The result is a love letter to the giallo genre spelled out in cut-up ransom-note writing – striking, but impossible to read. - 58
IndieWire
A loud, visually assaultive assemblage of genre tropes as technically accomplished as it is difficult to watch, "The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears" has plenty to impress while simultaneously offering so little. - 50
The Dissolve
If The Strange Color Of Your Body’s Tears were Cattet and Forzani’s debut film, this might all feel fresher, and more revelatory. But as visually stunning as any given five minutes of this movie is, it doesn’t add up to much cumulatively. - 40
Time Out London
If you make it as far as the obvious, disappointing denouement, you might be left asking yourself if the filmmakers’ abstract style is better suited to short films.
