4/5
"a movie that's almost impossible to get out of your head."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

C-
"From its silly exploitation treatment of prostitution and sexual bondage you'd never imagine that Giuseppe Tornatore, the same director who created the magnificent "Cinema Paradiso," made "The Unknown Woman.""  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

B-
"Classy but hardly enjoyable Giallo thriller."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

3/5
"Un intenso y atrapante thriller con algo de melodrama que bien podría haber dirigido Brian de Palma."  Uruguay Total  Enrique Buchichio

B
"Writer/director Giuseppe Tornatore ("Cinema Paradiso," "Malèna") reveals a hitherto unknown side of his own with this dark jigsaw puzzle of a mystery."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

2.5/4
"It's an uneasy mix, and not an entirely successful one. But the film is flat-out gorgeous and contains moments of sheer lunacy."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

1.5/4
"The Unknown Woman begins the same way director Giuseppe Tornatore's last film, Malena, operated throughout: by ogling a fine female form."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

4/5
"Cria uma atmosfera tensa e envolvente durante a maior parte do tempo, mas, lamentavelmente, se perde de maneira absurda em seus minutos finais."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

B
"There is enough interesting stuff going on in the film until the final revelation to make this a journey worth taking."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

8/10
"High quality pictures and a smashing sound track with no slack in the suspense until the curtain drops. A fine piece of fright."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

4.5/5
"Giuseppe Tornatore has crafted a film for the ages. With some script assistance from Massimo de Rita, the writer/director is at the top of his game, bringing together a truly mysterious tale of love for family and unbridled revenge in a manner that could"  JWR  S. James Wegg

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
