-
“PIERCING is an unnerving mix of loveliness and lunacy..”
– Bilge Ebiri, NEW YORK MAGAZINE/VULTURE -
“What a deliciously demented and disturbing drama Nicolas Pesce's ‘Piercing’ is, dripping with gore and laden with forbidden innuendo.”
– Katie Walsh, TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE -
“The director of 'The Eyes of My Mother' trades B&W for S&M, and the result is 81 minutes of twisted brilliance.”
– Rob Hunter, FILM SCHOOL REJECTS -
“A sick-joke psychological cat-and-mouse game with just enough twists to keep you on your toes.”
– Chris Nashawaty, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY -
“PIERCING is a dark comedy pleasure spiked with pain. A sick and stylish love letter to giallo films of the '70s, Nicolas Pesce delivers cinematic kink at its finest.”
– Marisa Mirabal, SLASHFILM -
“A psycho-sexual horror show which lifts the lid on the twisted urges of two very troubled characters. It's great, if grisly, fun.”
– Wendy Ide, SCREEN INTERNATIONAL
