The Headless Woman Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Martel's vision is so visually rich and complex it borders on the impressionistic, but The Headless Woman would be nowhere without the precise tour de force performance by Onetto.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
One of the film's great strengths is Martel's compressed visual power. Her ability to capture the disorientation of seeing the world from the seclusion of a car's interior is strangely compelling...
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A full appreciation of Lucrecia Martel's elegant, rain-soaked film, The Headless Woman, requires the concentration and eye for detail of a forensic detective.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
If Hitchcock and Antonioni ever had an interest in class guilt, you'd have Martel.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
So affected and emotionally inaccessible as to be borderline intolerable.
Bitch Media
Alyx Vesey
[A] deceptively plotless, taut, and intricate 89 minutes. This is to the credit of Martel and lead actress María Onetto, who is devastating as dentist Verónica.
The Simon
Tim Grierson
Even if I was never fully captivated by Veronica's existential journey, I was happy to get lost in it for the length of the film's running time.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The lead actress, Mara Onetto, holds you through the longueurs.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
As dense and fluid as Martel's movie is, the viewer -- like the protagonist -- is compelled to live in the moment. And a rich moment it is.

Josh Larsen
Don't bring a guilty conscience to a viewing of The Headless Woman.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
...a shimmering mystery of the human mind wrapped inside racial, class and gender issues.
Remezcla
Clairefrisbie
A nice trip into a hazy world where truth is relative and quite beautiful at the same time.
Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen
Largely a marvel of technique at the expense of almost anything else -- whatever story exists is secondary in nature to the very experience of watching the film.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
May be the decade's greatest zombie movie
Stop Smiling
Michael Joshua Rowin
An unsettling sense of guilt and dread runs through this elliptical film that proves Martel has much improved from The Holy Girl.
Christian Science Monitor
Andy Klein
Martel -- having listed Herk Harvey's ultra-low-budget 1962 horror film Carnival of Souls as a favorite -- has now more or less remade it as an "art film": that is, she's slathered the pretentiousness on so thick that all the fun is gone.
Critic's Notebook
Martin Tsai
Ms. Martel here firmly establishes her mastery by exacting - amid a dream-like fog - suspense, horror, humor and sympathy from a protagonist who is so emotionally vacant and detached from the world.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's a heady study of a successful woman in a patriarchal society.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It moves in a disappointing direction away from Martel's previous features La Cinaga (2001) and The Holy Girl (2004).
