Incredible ramp up while still drawing steady parallels to the directors tumultuous divorce and the affect it had on him and his family.

Outrageous and unforgettable. Some extremely dreadful scenes that are so intent with it's violence, watching the film turns into a frenzy. Evil as temptation may be, it is worth watching for unbearable displays of human satisfaction and the flawed romance between man and woman.

Not a big fan of Zulawski hysterical approach to storytelling -- as I'm not a big fan of Von Trier and Aronofsky, btw -- but this is of course evidently well-acted, gripping and filled with an undeniably gifted camerawork -- actually the subway scenes that made the film famous are not even the best here; I would say the Christ one and the world-ending finale back at the apartment with the boy's teacher. Decaying 80s Berlin as hellish marriage story.

Mostly incomprehensible, but you can't stop watching. If it weren't for Isabelle Adjani's incredible performance, I would have given this movie a rating of 50 at most.

I don't get it, but it's beautiful in an East Berlin way. Isabelle Adjani is beautiful and does great freak-out scenes. Neill can take a ton of bullets and still keep going. Fav scene: when The Shape of Water doesn't go far enough.

This was one of the best horror movies I had seen in a long time. Everybody brought incredible performances to the table and the story spiraled out of control to a level I never anticipated. It pretty much blew me away.

This blew me away. It just might be a new favorite of mine. Two incredible, animalistic central performances, surprising horror set-pieces, and a stylish presentation with at times stunning cinematography

But what about Bob? Holy moly Isabelle Adjani and tunnels. “This a joke ... what is it?” I have nothing, I might be too hopped up on Tylenol cold and flu.

Going off of a 90-ish minute, heavily edited cut, my observations: Carried by solid performances from Neill & Adjani, both of whom give their all & are delightfully manic and unhinged, it's an artsy & oddball psychological horror featuring plenty of religious themes & motifs that largely plays out in a big string of strange, confusing, surreal & sometimes darkly funny sequences. Very little makes sense. However, it's oddly fascinating in spite of that, & leaves a heavy impression. Worth a look.

Utter madness. This is a film that leaves you exhausted as it progresses through the horror of a marriage unraveling. There is obviously a lot to unpack here as Zulawski leaves much up to interpretation. The film's dizzying photography adds to the sense of being lost in these characters' hopelessness. Understanding polarizing.
