Anatomy of Hell Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
No one takes the fun out of sex like Catherine Breillat.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Plays like porn dubbed by bitter deconstructionist theoreticians.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Ranks high on the squirm meter. But, unlike in most of [Breillat's] earlier work, there's no emotional payoff.
Newsday
John Anderson
Breillat, as usual, leaves us gasping.
Chicago Tribune
Achy Obejas
A ponderous but very, very explicit exploration of gender roles and fears that frequently seems like a parody of the genre.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
The good news: Real-life porn star Siffredi turns out to be a terrific actor. Who knew? The bad news: The scene with the garden implement. The scene with the red cocktail. The scene with ... I can't go on.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Once again, [Breillat] gives us a man and a woman engaged in a bruising slugfest hinged to sexual difference.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
The ultimate lesson being taught isn't how homosexuality can be transposed to kinky hetero sex games.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A mere parade of shock images meant to free us from our bourgeois illusions -- and since narrative engagement appears to be one of those sins, it's impossible to find a foothold.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
In her clinical yet stately manner Breillat is largely -- though not wholly -- successful.
Cinema Writer
Jay Antani
A waste of cinema, and of precious time.
Film Comment Magazine
Nathan Lee
Her latest, Anatomy of Hell, doesn't so much straddle the fine line between art and porn as balance, bleeding, on the knife's edge between trenchant and pretentious.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Ultimately less reminiscent of similarly themed efforts like Last Tango in Paris than of an explicit health education training film.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Breillat uses this man and woman on a bed (sometimes only he is clothed, and sometimes the two of them are naked) as a way of exploring the meaning of women's bodies from social, political and personal angles, instead of purely sensual ones.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
In her latest feature, sexual provocatrix Catherine Breillat turns a philosophical speculum on gender relations to perverse (and perversely elegant) effect.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Unless you buy the obnoxious premise that men in general, and gay men in particular, loathe women, you may find yourself thinking, 'Buck up, dear!' and concluding that this is a filmmaker whose desire to shock exceeds her capacity for interesting thought.
Variety
Lisa Nesselson
Breillat is militantly in favor of personal and intellectual freedom -- and that aspect of her mission as an artist is laudable. But it's the way she expresses it on film that lends itself to giggles and guffaws.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
Breillat reduces sexuality to the basest coupling of body parts, and Anatomy of Hell reduces film to freak-show voyeurism.
Movie Gazette
Anton Bitel
Vagina dialogue this may be, but it seems much more like a bunch of arse.

Eric D. Snider
I hate this movie, but only because it hated me first.
