A mosaic-style thriller whose artful recipe is deepened in The Sweet Hereafter.
December 22, 2005
Egoyan's masterpiece -- a twisting tale of erotic obsession and hypnotic storytelling.

One of the best movies ever to come out of Canada.

Apparent from its ominous, opening pan is Exotica's craft - the film is deliberate and attentive, and displays action that is not apparently related or significant - at first. Ultimately, the exposition purposefully lacks a cohesiveness.

Don't be fooled by the soft-core poster; this haunting tale of pain and memory is as good as they come.

Egoyan's first Cannes Film Fest entry is an engaging tale of sexual desire and alienation.

Demonstrates that the mystery of the human personality must be respected and even hallowed.

Uses its eroticism as a head trip into loneliness, alienation and desperation.
January 15, 2005
Egoyan's intent is not ultimately to disturb us, but to look closely at people at their wits' end, desperate, and sad, in hopes of finding absolution for them.
August 03, 2012
One of the most despairing movies, and yet there is in the precision of its craft and the depth of its empathy something fundamentally uplifting.

It might be set in a strip club, but Atom Egoyan's tale of loneliness, lust and jealously simmers with sensual heat.
