Piercing
It's a business trip that turns all things perfectly for a man named Reed who is engaged in a completely different work experience. That story began as Reid brought a bag full of clothes, as well as a toothbrush and several killers. Reid may be planning to do something very dangerous as the killing of a victim is planned. Reed does this work, saves himself from his malicious motives and continues to be a good husband and father. Maybe it's too bad and getting worse when he gets to know Jackie, a seductive invitation girl up to his room to achieve a certain goal.

A darkly comic giallo-esque romance, torturously literalising all the dynamics of S&M, while accommodating the persistence of trauma.February 20, 2019
A darkly funny and consistently unsettling two-hander that explores S&M with a beguilingly light touch.January 31, 2019
What a deliciously demented and disturbing drama Nicolas Pesce's "Piercing" is, dripping with gore and laden with forbidden innuendo.February 18, 2019
Pesce presumably wants to give us an exquisite tease, but I found it a bit of a pain.February 26, 2019
Undeniably striking from an aesthetic standpoint, but dragged down by repetitive, ultimately vacuous cat-and-mouse games.February 18, 2019
Mia Wasikowska turns up and it seems the power games have only just begun. Nasty but stylishly executed.February 04, 2019
For every clever twist, there's a dead giveaway; the movie's high-style décor is more alluring than the drama.February 21, 2019
Darkly funny, but still unapologetically grim, this plays very much like a modern version of Takashi Miike's iconic 1999 film Audition, only with a lot less of a brutal finale.January 31, 2019
Pesce deploys a potent arsenal of stylistic tools - urban landscape miniatures, plushly disquieting Lynchian interiors, flashbacks, creature effects, and florid gore - to tell the story of Reed.February 01, 2019
Piercing is an unnerving mix of loveliness and lunacy.February 15, 2019
The dream-team pairing of Abbott and Wasikowska, two of the most interesting, subtle and risk-loving performers of their generation, is a huge compensation.February 01, 2019
Piercing is an unsuccessful provocation, and I didn't get anything out of it beyond a few wispy ideas about how we may never really understand what we want from each other.
