      No one interested in the power and magic of movies should miss it.

      Aronofsky has fashioned a chilling vision that lives up to the caustic irony of its title and gives us a nightmare that is not lightly forgotten.

      New York Post

      A powerful fable about love and addiction that manages to be darkly humorous when it isn't graphic or harrowing in the extreme.

      May be an elaborate stunt, a bungee jump, but even so, it's forceful enough to leave a rare palpitating residue.

      San Francisco Examiner

      It's one of the most beautifully unpleasant movies ever made - its reverse charge being that it is no fun at all.

      TV Guide Magazine

      Aronofsky has given us a well-acted, gorgeously overwrought and luridly entertaining exploitation flick -- a midnight movie for future generations.

      Too self-consciously dark, too aware of its long, murky, art-designed descent into the underbelly of America's addictive personality.
