Reviews
“The silences that overwhelm the movie’s confrontational rages and the suppression of backstory details, underplaying motives and emphasizing action, thrust Both Sides of the Blade out of the realm of psychological drama and into shocking emotional immediacy.”
Richard Brody

New Yorker

“As is often the case with Denis’ films, Both Sides of the Blade grows more illuminating as it gets hotter; what starts like a constrained and unusually jagged French drama is eventually forged into an incendiary portrait of three people.”
David Ehrlich

indieWire

“In this simultaneously small and cavernous love story, even a whisper echoes for days.”
