(1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1   "An act of nearly overwhelming self-congratulation ... like Wings of Desire directed by Zalman King."   Film Journal International   Chris Barsanti 3/5 "Can the modern man handle Brisseau's cup of tea? The answer: Dude! All-girl threesome!"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin B- "Provocative, erotic and unforced Exterminating Angels is a cautionary story about the perils of awakening useless desire."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "The coldness of the artist in observing life is here so embarrassingly done as to unintentionally bring about titters, not titillations."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 3/4 "Exterminating Angels is Jean-Claude Brisseau's Sex is Comedy, though it could just as easily have been called Anatomy of Hell."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 1/5 "The only thing shocking about this French film is its Puritanical finale."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat "The beauties of Brisseau's movies lie in their defiantly messy imperfections: pretty poison all the way."   House Next Door   Keith Uhlich 2/5 "It's about the sex, stupid."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner 3/4 "The film is ultimately infuriating, subtle, self-indulgent, astute and disingenuous, which makes for great -- if divisive -- conversation."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2/5 "It lacks any introspection to illuminate the erotic subject matter."   Film Threat   Matthew Sorrento B+ "A complex, confessional examination of [Jean-Claude Brisseau's] twisted, thorny and ultimately ambiguous feelings toward women and sex."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 7/10 "A venture into the world of lust and love scripted with the beauty and discipline of Greek tragedy. As enthralling as it is disturbing. A must see for those who can tolerate the explicit sex."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson  (1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1
