Los Angeles Times
Transfixed is a solid, engaging example of how a genre plot can illuminate a marginalized world. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
The film is at odds with itself, trying to present transgendered characters as resourceful and tough as nails while the plot habitually reduces them to traumatized masochists and helpless victims. - 40
L.A. Weekly
What really sink the film are the script's reductive, outdated psychological implications (molestation leads to queerness/transsexualism) and its clumsy melodramatics. - 30
The New York Times
Mr. Girod is a fish out of water in the after-hours clubs and deserted industrial districts that constitute the sexual underworld of Brussels. His film feels more like what one would see from the top of a double-decker tourist bus than the work of someone who has immersed himself in a sexual subculture and its particular values. - 25
Christian Science Monitor
Dull despite its suspense-driven story.
