Don't Look Back, an initially intriguing, ultimately incoherent mind-bender.

Don't Look Back leans hard on a conventionally atonal musical score and cheap shock cuts, as well as some dubious special effects.

"Don't Look Back" begins promisingly. Seemingly obsessed with surfaces, the camera restlessly searches for hints and clues among the fragments we see, even before we know there's a mystery.

1.5/4

...feels as though it were pulled out of David Lynch's pile of (justifiably) rejected screenplays.

1.5/5

Anyone expecting more than the pleasure of seeing two of Europe's most ravishing actresses, Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci, sharing the same scene ... should brace for disappointment

B-

There are two wonderful performances to savor here, but the film itself doesn't hold much of a lasting impact despite a convincing parade of hysteria.

Wow!!!! this was actually pretty entertaining. I love the way they change the language to French to Italian. Love Monica Belluci she is just to beatiful to see in person as well in film. The suspense and story was interesting and that what kept me into it. As for that being said I give this movie a C-.

As confusing and incoherent as it was, I still enjoyed this psychological thriller for the wonderful performances of the leading ladies, two of Europe's most scintillating talents, Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci. The integration of one into the other was wild and disconcerting. The story slowly unfolds and comes together somewhat at the end, but it is a long road getting there and you scratch your head a lot along the way.
