Compulsion Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
sandcrab277 Honestly when you have to watch 128 minutes of heather graham parading her pushed up and out breasts, without her getting naked is a total waste of film space...if she had sexual relations with other than food it could have fooled me...her execution of the parrot was morbid and unnecessary...if i had a woman at home that looked like her, she wouldn't have time to cook or daydream, let alone watch old films...the chef that actually prepared the meals did a decent job but plating food is far more over rated than it should be...
djaverett Simply horrible. Don't waste your time. The plot never develops enough for the viewer to care. It is always nice to see a blonde in high heels and in a dress with lots of cleavage but after a short time it gets old fast in this movie. There's nothing to Heather Graham's character but annoyance. She annoys everyone around her with talk of food and equally annoys the audience. She does nothing exciting. Carrie-Ann Moss' scene where she is confronted by her rapist from when she was a teen was just stupid, overacted and lacked any compassion whatsoever. What seemed like a potential lesbianic climax fizzled horribly with no clear indication about what really happened after those moments in bed. You are left to guess but even that is pointless as you really don't care anymore at that point.
Quotius An enjoyable little film full of the kind of intense and intimate relationships that you normally only find on a stage. Hopefully that will be enough to set the scene as Compulsion is not really a film, its a theater production put on to film.Compulsion is two stories that unravel and then combine to become one as you really only get the second story after being fully immersed in the fervor and passion of Amy (Heather Graham). Heather Graham appears to have added more a little Nigella Lawson (Youtube her) to her depiction of a voluptuous gastronome desperately seeking acknowledgement and love.So too does the other leading character Saffron bring a fine set of hang ups and issues played by Carrie Anne Moss.Both lead actresses set the movie apart from ennui with excellent portrayals of their characters and through their selling of the story. They also looks fantastic (which can't be bad!).If you take the movie for the play that it is, rather than the blockbuster you might be hoping for, then you should get on fine.
mikeydoeshorror This movie will probably stay with me for a while. Heather Grahm was beautiful in the movie and really made me feel for her characters. I was dreading that the movie was going to turn into a predictable girl gone crazy movie because I really like the characters of Amy. Luckily this film had more depth. One of the most disturbing things about the film is the cards that Amy is dealt in her life. I may be a bit biased because I'm a huge foodie like the characters so I really enjoyed that aspect of it as well.. The one thing I will say is this movie may not be for everyone. Hardcore horror fans may not appreciate the slow paced drama but at the same time drama lovers may not appreciate the macabre aspect of the film. I won't say much more but if you like simple yet disturbing movies is recommend this one
