What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
A haunting and terrifying film. It's also a film of wonderful spaces and silences.
A taut mess -- beautiful, gory, tedious and puzzling.
This modern-day vampire story is purposefully shocking in its eroticized gore, if unintentionally dull in its lack of poetic frissons.
New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
Insipid, self-indulgent bit of art-house macabre.
Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
A demented, orgiastically gory vampire/sex parable.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
The extremely intimate violence is more explicit than is the mainstream norm, and Dalle's mouth is the stuff of nightmares.
Austin Chronicle by Marjorie Baumgarten
Something haunting is going on here, but it's as difficult for the viewers as it is for the characters to sink their teeth into anything truly satisfying.
San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
Maybe there's a metaphor here, but figuring it out wouldn't make Trouble Every Day any better.
If you have an appetite for audacious, one-of-a-kind filmmaking, this one's for you. Just don't say you weren't warned.
