"German auteur Christian Petzold's original take on a "Postman Always Rings Twice"-styled love triangle cultivates rich suspense from the degrees of his ethically variable characters."

"Isn't startlingly new, but it's a nice twist on a familiar formula, and should satisfy anyone who wants to see the postman, as it were, ring yet again."

"Is
The Postman Always Rings Twice
a novel rooted in steamy sex or in social conditions? Solicit an American's opinion and you're sure to hear that it's about the sex. The hot, violent sex."

The Screengrab
Nick Schager
8/10
