Los Angeles Times
Death in Love is occasionally pretentious but always riveting. Strap yourself in, especially for those gruesome flashbacks of Nazi medical experiments -- this is one endurance test that's worth the effort. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Bisset is powerful as a mother who has virtually devoured her young. With her Medusa-like tresses aswirl, she is truly ferocious. - 70
New York Magazine (Vulture)
A pretentious and stilted but weirdly compelling blend of sins-of-the-parent saga and horror movie. - 60
New York Daily News
Challenging and thoughtful, but is also, like its characters, a prisoner of its own anger. - 20
Village Voice
Someday, a wise and potent film will be made about the Holocaust's legacy on succeeding generations. Posing as a study in evil, Death in Love is claptrap that confuses bile with art. - 20
The New York Times
Death in Love hasn't a drop of humor or hope. Its dull, smudged look makes every environment appear joyless and claustrophobic. - 0
New York Post
There's something seriously wrong when you assemble actors this good -- and can't believe a single stilted word coming out of their mouths.
