Allure Ratings & Reviews
Film Threat
Bradley Gibson
This is an exquisite portrait of human suffering. Particularly for first-time writer/directors the film is a marvel, a brilliant objet d'art that is incredibly unpleasant to watch.
Gay City News
Gary M. Kramer
Brothers Carlos and Jason Sanchez, who wrote and directed this intriguing film, may or may not reveal why Laura is so self-destructive, but viewers open to exploring her disturbing behavior will find this daring film compelling.
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
Bad love comes in several varieties in this thriller about a woman whose relationship with a teenager has dire consequences.
Orca Sound
Carey-Ann Pawsey
I was expecting to be moved by the film, but instead I found myself often uncomfortable. Icky. Yes, the lead character is not very likeable (despite the fact that you learn all that she went through which goes a long way towards explaining her behaviour).
Cinema Sentries
Matthew St. Clair
Despite Allure not living up to its title, it still features exemplary performances by its leading actresses and colorful cinematography that elevate the mishandled screenplay.
RogerEbert.com
Susan Wloszczyna
The utterly humorless script of Allure often makes for uneasy viewing.
Film Inquiry
Kristy Strouse
It is a sophisticated debut, taut and melancholy, that is effectually distinguished by the powerhouse performance of Evan Rachel Wood. Her character will floor you.
Cinemacy
Morgan Rojas
Allure explores the dark side of human behavior, but instead of holding the offender accountable, it plays more like a superficial lesbian film made by men for men.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
The filmmakers seem less concerned with telling a story than in convincing the audience (and maybe themselves) that they can handle this provocative and potentially exploitive material ... with what's conventionally considered "appropriate" sensitivity.
The Playlist
Lena Wilson
A well-made, gutsy film.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
There's no reprieve from the dour tone of Carlos and Jason Sanchez's film.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The screenplay doesn't rise to the level of the behind-the-camera craftmanship or the acting.
The Mary Sue
Teresa Jusino
I suppose there are worse things for a film to be than an educational conversation starter. However, Allure is a difficult, and ultimately, an unsatisfying watch as a film.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
This is bold filmmaking with a great deal to say.
