when cinephiles talk about modern mainstream movies not being horny/sexy enough anymore, this is exactly what they're nostalgic for. ken russell deconstructing post-60s american sexuality; dialogue consisting solely of puns, juxtaposing cis-hetero surburban ennui with…

Almost like a sequel to Psycho and a prequel to Serial Mom? God bless Corman for funding this one.
LizDec 14, 2014Kathleen Turner seems to have a lot of fun with this ridiculous role. Ken Russell's films are always envelope-pushing in terms of taste, and they often leave their themes out in the open. This one is no different, as it explores with bluntness sexual repression and…

Russell’s wild style and shameless exhibitionism places it on a par with the contemporary work of Brian De Palma in terms of its vicious satire of ‘80s kitsch and repression.

Good performances and an interesting idea are metamorphosed into one of the silliest movies in a long time.

Chicago Sun-Times
FOR all their extravagance, Ken Russell's films have never lacked exuberance or humor, which makes the flat, joyless tone of Crimes of Passion a surprise. Much of this is attributable to a screenplay by Barry Sandler filled with smutty double-entendres and weighty ironies. Only intermittently does Mr. Russell break through with the kind of manic flamboyance that is so singularly and rudely his own.
