Sebastian dying was so random??
Jacob is "meh" onCruel IntentionsWaste of young talents
DaewnG likedCruel IntentionsGreat cast, interesting plot, very much a chick flick. The smug ending really sold the personal growth of Witherspoon’s character. Very saucy, not too intellectually-challenging, and bittersweet as a whole.
- Ajsa likedCruel Intentions
Didn’t really get the romance between Sebastian and Anette (happened too fast). Ending was good, a bit unexpected death (which was not necessary imo). Overall good 90s movie.
Vivi is "meh" onCruel IntentionsOkay this one was one of those movie where it’s so bad that you keep watching. Not saying that the movie was bad but it gives a weird feeling, like you know that you are not supposed to support the actions of the main characters but you’re invested. it has a pretty solid cast too
Olivia dislikedCruel IntentionsGuys I don’t know about this one I really don’t. Because I’m gonna be sold this as if it’s not poor abuse and it is. Like where was the humour. It was uncomfortable and weirdly sexual. U cannot call this steamy when it’s forced erotic with no tension. Nah

really interesting watch. not my favorite movie, but better than expected. does have incest, as a warning. sarah michelle geller is wonderful
Mickerdoo likedCruel IntentionsTwisted story aside, the drama and sexiness are rampant. The girls were great in this and well picked. Protagonist didn’t redeem himself.
nicole dislikedCruel Intentionscouldve been so good but with the incest, borderline SA scenes, and random character death…???

Metacritic
It's not the trite talk that sends Cruel Intentions into a tailspin, it's the lightweight casting.
Peter Travers
Rolling Stone
The dirtiest-minded American movie in recent memory -- and an honestly corrupt entertaining picture is never anything to sneeze at.
Charles Taylor
Salon
It crash-lands with an ending of soppy moralizing, but until the end, it's smart and merciless in the tradition of the original story.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
