Repulsion is what I feel towards this director
sophie yoshinoJan 26, 2022This is an effective movie because who else but a predator could capture on film the sheer terror a woman feels when she’s abused.

fuuuuuuck youuuuuu roman polanski WHY is this is one of the best horror movies ever made fuuuuuuck youuuuuu maaaaan
maryJul 19, 2022personally wouldn’t have chosen polanski to direct my biopic but sometimes that’s the way it goes
loJan 29, 2023How tragically ironic that a horror movie widely praised for depicting a woman’s sexual paranoia was made by Roman Polanski. That’s like if people lauded OJ Simpson for making Halloween. P.S. want to inadvertently date your movie forever? Make a reference to “Cassius Clay”.

Me too honestly
Orlando Ramone dislikedRepulsionI wanted to like this movie more, but it’s ultimately just a slow, boring movie. Not Roman Polanski’s best.

Metacritic
Repulsion's depiction of a young woman's dissolution into madness is one of the most harrowing mental descents ever depicted onscreen. (Reviewed 11/24/97)
Marjorie Baumgarten
Austin Chronicle
Roman Polanski's first film in English (1965, 105 min.) is still his scariest and most disturbing--not only for its evocations of sexual panic, but also because his masterful employment of sound puts the audience's imagination to work in numerous ways...As narrative this works only part of the time, and as case study it may occasionally seem too pat, but as subjective nightmare it's a stunning piece of filmmaking.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader
The cruelty of his methods aside -- and Polanski wasn't the first director to terrorize an actor for the sake of a performance -- Repulsion is a frightening, fiercely entertaining experience that holds up to time. (Review of May 1998 revival)
