It's Japanese provocateur Takashi Miike's best film - a mordant spin on "Little Red Riding Hood" with sexist expectations as the wolf on which the tables are turned. Its "kiri, kiri" refrain also is the Zeroes' answer to "Is it safe?" from "Marathon Man."

The shock imperative takes on a life of its own and floats away from the lengthy setup.

This brazen shocker is never less than compelling -- even when you feel compelled to shut your eyes.
December 20, 2010
An extremely disturbing and violent psychological thriller from the gifted Japanese director Takashi Miike, which will linger in memory long after you see the film.

A stomach-turning masterpiece.

If you can stomach it, this profoundly moving film will leave you dazed.

Miike is brilliant at transforming the mundane and familiar ... into something sinister and eerie.

Whether reading Audition as a portrait of coming to terms with grief, a feminist revenge tale, or a graphic exploration of romantic attachment and idealism, it remains a terrifying film.
November 16, 2001
A diabolically adroit piece of filmmaking that goes even further than the films of Italy's excruciatingly macabre Dario Argento.
October 19, 2001
There will be many people who consider Audition an atrocity, and a few who find it a stimulating cinema experience.
November 30, 2001
This movie, at just under two hours, is a long crawl from inception to climax.
March 01, 2016
With escalating unease and a switch and bait that Hitchcock would be proud of, Audition culminates in its infamously disturbing dénouement.
