90
Film Threat
Eric Campos
Incredible because for a 100 minute movie, Alexandra's Project passes like 30. Incredible also that most of those 100 minutes take place in a single living room. It's the tension and performances that pull you through, never letting your attention stray from what's going down on-screen.

75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Stephen Cole
Actress Helen Buday is coolly persuasive in the seesaw role of an unbalanced housewife who jerks from despair to anger.

70
Variety
David Stratton
The punishment seems out of all proportion to the "crimes" committed, so that the film becomes no simplistic pro-feminist tract but is, on the contrary, more complex and disturbing.

60
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Macpherson keep things creepy and mystifying. But that damn videotape takes the edge off the mood both visually and dramatically.

60
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Scott Tobias
But de Heer's high-concept feminist tract loses some of its integrity over time, as it slowly devolves into a seedy, voyeuristic thriller that takes all too much pleasure in turning the screws.

25
San Francisco Chronicle
John McMurtrie
But the film suffers from a major and unforgivable flaw, one that grows more implausible and ridiculous over time.
