"I suppose a project of this sort depends crucially on the chemistry between its actors, and Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke develop an erotic tension in this movie that is convincing, complicated and sensual (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | ||||
"Erotic at times, certainly, but that's down to the appeal of it's stars and not the minimal clean lines (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" | ||||
"Despite a monotonously fashionable mise-en-scene, Lyne generates some genuine erotic tension between his two stars; you believe in their obsessive relationship, even as most of the action and staging registers as ridiculous" | ||||
"Sanitized for our protection and in the hands of director Adrian Lyne, 9 ½ Weeks is a swooningly silly cautionary tale about the bad and the beautiful" | ||||
"Mickey Rourke is less than totally convincing as a big businessman, but Kim Basinger is the film’s one saving grace, as she manages to retain a certain dignity." |
