A tense and dramatic psycho-thriller that mostly takes place in a single day, Alexandra's Project is a dense and confronting film that savagely explores the notions of sex within a marriage. Full Review |

It's a contrived -- though carefully crafted -- bit of movie gamesmanship that sometimes seems like a claustrophobic stunt. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
De Heer offers a wicked twist on household secrets and lies. Full Review |
||
|
4.5/5 |
It’s the tension and performances that pull you through, never letting your attention stray from what’s going down on-screen. Full Review |

|
1/4 |
De Heer, who also wrote the script, would have us believe that a wife who's tired of her oblivious bloke of a husband could suddenly become conniving and cruel, coolly defending her actions with twisted logic that's sold as feminism. Full Review |

|
4/5 |
confidently shot and scripted in clipped, emotionally direct dialogue that’s thankfully not resorting to Harold Pinter, David Mamet, or Neil LaBute Full Review |

|
1.5/4 |
I Spit on Your Grave gets to the nitty gritty. The equally problematic Alexandra’s Project is simply glib. Full Review |
||
|
|
Even though the performances are terrific and the claustrophobic atmospherics effective, the film elicits more anger than praise. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
It's really the feel-bad movie of the week. In a genius sort of way. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
It's a movie that will leave few men unrattled and many women vicariously satisfied. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
Buday is coolly persuasive in the seesaw role of an unbalanced housewife who jerks from despair to anger. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
This low-budget Australian film is pitched as a psycho-sexual thriller but it's not thrilling at all: it's just cold, hateful and cheap. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
An edgy little Aussie thriller that will have husbands shaking in their shoes, Alexandra's Project is a film like no other. Full Review |
