Reviews
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times that the "elegant little" film was made as a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock , but that it has a life of its own. It doesn't work because of the twists and turns of the plot, but because of the representations. Margot Kidder and Jennifer Salt are two exceptions in the world of beautiful actresses who cannot act; Salt in particular works convincingly as a “tough and stubborn outsider”.
“Exciting psychological thriller that cleverly combines technical perfection with a spontaneous staging style. Some bloodthirsty effects require strong nerves. "
