The Hollywood Reporter

Lucas Belvaux's Rapt is two movies, both excellent, for the price of one.

FULL REVIEW

The A.V. Club

Jul 7, 2011

While the back-and-forth between various parties grows tiresome through repetition, Rapt rallies with a lengthy epilogue in which the aftermath of Attal's ordeal proves more draining than the physical privation that preceded it.

Compellingly taut and existentially thoughtful, this exceptional Euro-American hybrid is perfectly pitched for the kind of crossover success previously enjoyed by Guillaume Canet's 2006 surprise hit "Tell No One."

The New York Times

Jul 7, 2011

A solid yet fleet French thriller about a society kidnapping and its shockwaves.

By Manohla Dargis FULL REVIEW

Time Out

Jul 5, 2011

Belvaux's tension-building setup is stellar; the follow-through, less so.

By Keith Uhlich FULL REVIEW

Village Voice

Jul 5, 2011

The growing disgust of both his family and business associates, all hazily drawn, may knock the magnate down, but it's a limp substitute for the public fury that still burns after the fall of 2008.
