Let me just say for the record that Meg Ryan is my favorite actress. I adore her and was curious to see her take on such a controversial role. But all I got out of this movie was pure disappointment. Characters... Full review

Meg Ryan gives a risky starring role as a sexually repressed schoolteacher who has an affair with a detective who is investing a grisly murder that occured outside Ryan's bedroom window. The characters are complex, well writen and drawned out, but... Full review

The cast of this movie was largely wasted. As a film noir look-alike, it left too much - or too little - to the imagination. Why on earth did Meg Ryan agree to do the nude scenes [which added little to... Full review

This should have been good, but instead it sucked. It didn't have any exciting bits and the chemistry was lacking between the actors. These kinds of films are normally good but they have made a turkey here. Oh dear... what happened!?... Full review

OK thriller/romance/drama with more drama and romance than thrills, or even thrill ATTEMPTS. I wasn't enormously impressed with the movie overall, but it did have some semi-suspenseful moments, and I didn't find myself getting bored until the very end. One thing-... Full review

if "In the Cut" falls short of the masterpiece Campion intended, it's unquestionably the most ambitious and important film to come along in months.
Meg Ryan does such an effective job of evoking her sexually hungry lonely girl that it might have been better to just follow that line and not distract her and the audience with the distraction of a crime plot that becomes transparent ...

One of the most underated actresses around, Jennifer Jason Leigh is superb as Frannie's slutty sister.....a very rough movie....Even the camerawork is reminiscent of the first season of the television series.....blame Meg Ryan for putting on blinders....Ryan is to blame for trying to pound a square peg into a round hole..... ...

IN THE CUT is not just a bad film, it is a laughably bad film.
But even there the film fails.
One can point many fingers, plot, presentation, premise, but the principle failing is our leading lady, Meg Ryan.

Dreaming of love but obsessed by sex, In the Cut is a darkly intense psychological thriller at whose heart lies a heady love story.
But gender politics aside, In The Cut dares to be more emotionally layered, morally provocative, creatively challenging and rule-breaking than its genre usually dictates, and is consequently quite compelling.

Jane Campion laughs when asked about her reputation as an actors' director.
She didn't feel at the time that she was in the right emotional space to play a character like Frannie," Campion said.
