Keith Uhlich

Gallo and Dalle are sublimely tragic figures; the scene in which Shane stalks around Notre Dame like Frankenstein unleashed is a pitch-perfect encapsulation of the way the film plays with and deepens movie-monster archetypes. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

A haunting and terrifying film. It's also a film of wonderful spaces and silences. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

Something haunting is going on here, but it's as difficult for the viewers as it is for the characters to sink their teeth into anything truly satisfying. Read full review

Ernest Hardy

A taut mess -- beautiful, gory, tedious and puzzling. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

A demented, orgiastically gory vampire/sex parable. Read full review

Jack Mathews

Insipid, self-indulgent bit of art-house macabre. Read full review

Derek Elley

Over-long, under-written and needlessly obscure instead of genuinely atmospheric. Read full review

Vincent Gallo is extremely talented in many ways. He is also complex sensitive, poetic and very funny. The public responses to him vary greatly. He is completely misunderstood and those who misunderstand his intensions and humor will certainly misunderstand his masterful works of art.Vincent Gallo is extremely talented in many ways.

Perfection, in every single way, but I just can't explain why. It contains one scene of absolutely carnage, and another which left me very, very unsettled, both of which were very disturbing and gory, but somehow they contributed to the bigger picture, lifting a moody, spectacularly Perfection, in every single way, but I just can't explain why. It contains one scene of absolutely carnage, and another which left me very, very unsettled, both of which were very disturbing and gory, but somehow they contributed to the bigger picture, lifting a moody, spectacularly structured film into a higher realm. The result is a bloody, brilliant, bold and overwhelming experience. The critics know nothing - this is one of the greats.… Expand

Apart from about two very dramatic sequences, Trouble Every Day is a slow slog that goes more or less nowhere before ending suddenly and without warning. It's like Claire Denis came up with the one "big scene" and then decided to write up a bunch of filler to go around it.

One redeemingApart from about two very dramatic sequences, Trouble Every Day is a slow slog that goes more or less nowhere before ending suddenly and without warning. It's like Claire Denis came up with the one "big scene" and then decided to write up a bunch of filler to go around it.

One redeeming factor: The "big scene" has one of the most realistic performances of a person in agony that I've ever seen. Pain is often poorly acted, but the performer here just nails it and makes the scene believable.… Expand

I gave it 2 stars because I watched it to the end. I also gave it 2 stars because I was only slightly angry at myself for wasting my valuable time. I also gave it 2 stars because it deserves 2 stars.
