Minimal dialogue, a film that tells its story with images instead. At first the pacing and cinematography were hypnotizing, but an hour in, the slowness was effecting my viewing experience. It's clearly a very visually calculated movie, and obviously wants to be considered art ho... read more

Not Vincent Gallo at his best but Claire Denis?s direction is. It?s a bit slow (or atmospheric) to get started and It?s a bit disturbing but stick with it, you?ll be glad you did!

Claire Denis exercises brilliant directorial control in this brooding, deeply shocking film. The pacing of the story disarms the audience, so that when it reaches its gruesome climax we feel it on a physical level. Beatrice Dalle is terrifying in her limited amount of screen time... read more

The biting fetish (Ever had the urge to bite your lover?) seen as a disease that to the viewer is cannibalism. Like a French Cronenberg movie but with a really slow pace and a seemingly low budget. For most of the duration the story's plot appeared confusing, but once the stories... read more

An atmospheric film, with Beatrice Dalle giving a great performance as a woman who's libido drives her to cannibalistic excess, alongside Vincent Gallo looking as filthy and unkempt as ever.
The slow burn narrative is methodical and precise, but I never got all that swept up in ... read more -

An amazing story that's told in an artistic, spellbinding fashion. Slow, observing, very precise in its execution. Gallo is perfectly cast, using his subtle intensity to its finest as he protrays a man struggling with a hunger inside himself that he is afraid he cannot control. A... read more

Trouble Every Day is a success in some sense, but it's hard to like a film so cold and dead. Full Review
Here the love scenes all end in someone screaming. Maybe there's a metaphor here, but figuring it out wouldn't make Trouble Every Day any better. Full Review
Watching Trouble Every Day, at least if you don't know what's coming, is like biting into what looks like a juicy, delicious plum on a hot summer day and coming away with your mouth full of rotten pul... Full Review
A hysterical yet humorless disquisition on the thin line between sucking face and literally sucking face. Full Review
... a film that is profoundly disturbing, yet hauntingly unforgettable. Full Review
Nothing Denis has made before, like Beau Travil and Nenette et Boni, could prepare us for this gory, perverted, sex-soaked riff on the cannibal genre.
The story of Trouble Every Day ... is so sketchy it amounts to little more than preliminary notes for a science-fiction horror film, and the movie's fragmentary narrative style makes piecing the story... Full Review
Purposefully shocking in its eroticized gore, if unintentionally dull in its lack of poetic frissons. Full Review
What's needed so badly but what is virtually absent here is either a saving dark humor or the feel of poetic tragedy. Full Review
