Whirlpool Ratings & Reviews
Jefferson Bittencourt
June 16, 2025
A sublime film, with beautiful cinematography, excellent acting, and impeccable direction. The theme of hypnosis may be unsettling for some viewers, but it serves as a metaphor for many post-war issues. Otto Preminger is a master.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Ferrer is wonderfully sleazy as Korvo and makes the perfect foil for Tierney.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a sporadically trashy, thoroughly absurd murder mystery.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Very wry, very Viennese satire of psychoanalysis as bourgeois fad
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Directed with a healthy feel for his twisted characters by Otto Preminger.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
There is no doubt that people will do strange things under hypnotic spell and that the techniques of hypnotism may be villainously employed. But you don't catch this fairly rational corner believing for one minute the hocuspocus that goes on.
TV Guide
Gripping throughout.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Preminger's ambiguous relation to his characters and his sense of moral relativity have seldom been put to such haunting use.
