Metacritic reviews

Death in Love is occasionally pretentious but always riveting. Strap yourself in, especially for those gruesome flashbacks of Nazi medical experiments -- this is one endurance test that's worth the effort.

Bisset is powerful as a mother who has virtually devoured her young. With her Medusa-like tresses aswirl, she is truly ferocious.

A pretentious and stilted but weirdly compelling blend of sins-of-the-parent saga and horror movie.

Challenging and thoughtful, but is also, like its characters, a prisoner of its own anger.

Someday, a wise and potent film will be made about the Holocaust's legacy on succeeding generations. Posing as a study in evil, Death in Love is claptrap that confuses bile with art.

Death in Love hasn't a drop of humor or hope. Its dull, smudged look makes every environment appear joyless and claustrophobic.

There's something seriously wrong when you assemble actors this good -- and can't believe a single stilted word coming out of their mouths.
