Reviews for The Book of Revelation
1 - 13 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
There's a fine and committed performance by Long, who looks like a pretty, young Nick Cave, but the women are never anything more than agents of the central conceit, the missing link in an otherwise psychologically intriguing film.
03/28/08
Top CriticA bit like an album by The Doors: faultlessly good-looking and loaded with dramatic import. Then you get up close and it turns out there's not much there at all.
03/28/08
Top CriticShot like a lush, hypnotic waking dream, it's boldly beautiful and plays some half-smart games with sex, power and gender politics.
03/28/08
Top CriticThe Book of Revelation is interesting enough to hope Kokkinos follows it with something equally daring.
03/28/08
An adaptation of novelist Rupert Thomson’s erotic mystery/thriller that fails to find a visual or narrative equivalent for the book’s elegant prose and lubricious mysteries.

10/18/08
A controversial psychological drama.
06/07/08
The film has an intriguing take on sexual power, and Greta Scacchi is excellent.
04/19/07
A production that any serious film buff will have to experience.
02/13/07
Clearly, with its unabashedly honest nudity, steamy scenes of bondage, masturbation, sodomy and even some old-fashioned fucking, this is no flick for kids.
02/10/07
The premise is provocative but the film lingers too long on the scenes of imprisonment, turning them into a kind of soft-porn performance art and leaving the emotional aftershocks less satisfyingly explored.
09/16/06
Top CriticEven the pivotal weakness of [Tom] Long's dull persona can't undermine the pic's determination to confront auds intellectually and emotionally.
