Review For Dangerous Liaisons |
Much of the cynicism, and thus the fun, of its many Western predecessors goes missing. Kate Taylor-Globe and Mail
Schadenfreude carries a delectable tang no matter the language, and as the history of Hollywood shows, stories about pretty people behaving badly remain reliably alluring. Manohla Dargis-New York Times
Zhang, expertly conveying someone closed off yet silently sensual, even rolls out a tear during a moment of impending intimacy as exquisitely timed as a dancer's move. Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times
Takes Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' 18th century source material to its most sumptuous silliness - I mean that as a compliment. G. Allen Johnson-San Francisco Chronicle
This is a relatively shallow entertainment, but its glossy surfaces certainly are, well, seductive. Mark Jenkins-NPR
The least one should hope for from another adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's Dangerous Liaisons is savory, salacious trash ... Nick Pinkerton-Village Voice
The cinematography is gorgeous, the costumes are gorgeous, the sets are gorgeous, and the people are so gorgeous it beggars belief. What can I say? Gorgeous. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
This Shanghai Dangerous Liaisons proves that universal tales, when interpreted with care, can benefit from a little cross-cultural specificity. Shannon M. Houston-Paste Magazine
Sexual intrigue brings heartbreak in an adaptation of the famous French novel, updated to 1930s Shanghai. Daniel Eagan-Film Journal International
It's all just window-dressing: pretty, but substance-free. Scott Tobias-AV Club
Shanghai in the 1930s seems an ideal context from which to offer social criticism, but Dangerous Liaisons forgoes engaging with the political dimension of its story altogether. Calum Marsh-Slant Magazine
Revenge may be a dish best served cold, as the novel suggested, but steamy adaptations simply can't be doled out lukewarm. David Fear-Time Out New York
This reset version from the original 18th century Paris to early 20th century Shanghai certainly looks fabulous, and the cast are all great. But maybe they're not quite the right cast for the characters Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
