If Viggo Mortensen ever made you so mad you wanted to punch him in the face, in that exact second he would look like Vincent Gallo.

Close-ups of those in pain as a result of compulsive, cannibalistic behavior are the most affecting images, and it's this kind of sensitivity to suffering that makes Denis' movie compelling. Yet, the central metaphor seems typically vampiric, especially when it parallels sexual lust with literal blood lust, so I didn't come away with much more than that. Note: Vincent Gallo is so gross looking even after a scene where he gets out of the shower it still looks like he needs a shower.

Rightly considered an example of New French Extremism, for its erotization of bloodletting and bloodification of sex, it would also be fair to assess this as Good Old French Obscurantism. It does seem to invite endless scholarly analysis, but if you cut through the bull it's just a slow, haphazard movie, where you have no idea what the fuck is going on, except that there's violence now and then.

As a film like (Cronenbergs) The Fly, this film shows that 'romantic drama' and 'horror' are not necessarily contrasting genres.

Not even a soundtrack by the (awesome) Tindersticks can save this pretentious muck. Denis abandons plot for sensuality, atmosphere and visuals, but can't pull off any of those, which leaves the film without aim. If you've never watched an arthouse movie and you're squemish to boot, this might jolt you a bit, but to me it was just a lame, drawn out excercise in controversy-baiting. The dialogie is inexcusable. (Edit: Yes- Dialogie. What, you've never heard of that term? Noob.)

Have no idea how I haven't ranked this before. Probably the most honest depiction of the slippery, amorphous boundaries that define sex that has ever been put to film.

An exercise in minimalism, to say the least. There's a hell of a lot of intrigue in this film, but what exactly it all adds to .... is also quite ambiguous. This sometimes leads well into some genuinely disturbing scenes, but a lot of the film is quite tired and dull and, overall, it's just too vague for my liking. Nonetheless, this is still a somewhat unique romantic-horror.

I mentally wished that someone texted me -- and that happened, so I left the film after 80 min, had a coffee with this girl who makes me cry every night and went back home. TED is a pictorial study of desire and it finds such an unsettling imagery through silence and action -- bites, masturbation, rape, screaming. The lack of any explanation or fate asserts one thing: this is about what is primal -- flesh, blood, urge, semen, anger, no matter what, as long as it leads to some kind of catharsis.

Pretty interesting, though I didn't enjoy it as much as the other Denis films I've seen. Gallo may be a stumbling block for many - he seems to be an acquired taste (if you'll pardon the pun).

Some of the bloody imagery here is gorgeous, but most of Trouble Every Day is forgettable. The analogy of sex to cannibalism or murder is hardly anything fresh, and in its minimal approach the film fails to say anything more. Even in regards to what themes are there, sex is actually extremely distant from the narrative and most is Gallo wandering in near silence, acting poorly, and searching for someone between scenes and images where we aren't given enough information for any possible emotion.
