The thing about this strangely beguiling film is that it deals in violent passions and physical cruelty not for their own sake, but for the sake of expressing human nature when cornered. It could be boiled down to the eternal triangle but that would be to overlook the subtlety of its dramatic power which offers each character from that character's point of view so that our sympathies are evenly distributed. Moralising is out of the question. (The Daily Telegraph)
