Sleeping with the Enemy Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
Jack Kroll
Sleeping With the Enemy is a flat tire of a movie. Looks good -- white sidewalls, chrome spokes -- but it flaps and clunks and never gets to vroom.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...ultimately undone by a relentless emphasis on obvious and downright laughable elements that'll surely leave even the most ingenuous viewer sporadically rolling their eyes.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
It's the sort of movie where all of the characters and plot moves (if one wants to call them that) are tailored to the thriller mechanics and have no existence apart from their crude functionality.
TV Guide
Sleeping With the Enemy teeters constantly on the verge of silliness but director Joseph Ruben keeps the cornball melodrama scaled down to a pleasant lull.
Variety
Variety Staff
Roberts is terrific in a layered part. Anderson brings an edge to the nice-guy-next-door role, and the dark, dashing Bergin is chillingly twisted.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Julia Roberts, a beauty who can also act, is one of the best things in recent movies. By my count she hasn't made a really good movie yet.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film begins as an unyielding look at a battered wife, and ends as another one of those thrillers where the villain toys with his victim and the audience.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
No one in this movie can be accused of doing his best.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
A relentlessly formulaic look at the downside of sexual obsession.
