Los Angeles Times
Early on, it's tempting to dismiss the noir pastiche The Girl From the Naked Eye as a warmed-over pulp wannabe, what with the overwrought camera work and clichéd dialogue. But in its moments of sometimes comically violent antagonism, the movie shows some flashes of genre pizazz. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
It isn't a great movie, but it looks terrific and makes me look forward to the next film by its director, David Ren. He has a good eye. - 50
Slant Magazine
The Girl from the Naked Eye has heart, which is more than can be said of some other recent genre throwbacks, but it ultimately makes barely a splash. - 50
New York Post
So deadpan are the dialogue and narration that it's hard to tell whether the laughs are intentional. What with all the shrieking, dumb bad-girl hookers and the wistful, wounded good-girl hookers, the sexism is so creepy it might be an ironic genre critique. Then again, maybe it's just creepy. - 42
The A.V. Club
Too bad the film itself is so derivative, it could have been assembled from Robert Rodriguez's discard bin. - 40
Village Voice
There are dozens of better, riskier, more interesting films that go unreleased every year - why this militantly dull effort is taking their place is its only worthwhile mystery. - 30
Variety
Gets one's attention but doesn't keep it, due to ill-cued flashbacks, groan-inducing dialogue and wooden performances.
