Piercing
Although Reid wants to go on a business trip, things turn out completely and he thinks about something else. That story began when Reed brought a toothbrush and several killers. Reid seems to want a controversial mission where everything is carefully planned. It is a major killing in order for Reid to rid himself of his malicious motives and continue to be a good husband and father. Although things are going well, Reid changes his life exactly when Jackie enters his room, a seductive invitation girl who reaches his room unplanned.

A darkly funny and consistently unsettling two-hander that explores S&M with a beguilingly light touch.

Mia Wasikowska turns up and it seems the power games have only just begun. Nasty but stylishly executed.

Pesce presumably wants to give us an exquisite tease, but I found it a bit of a pain.
February 22, 2019
A darkly comic giallo-esque romance, torturously literalising all the dynamics of S&M, while accommodating the persistence of trauma.

Piercing is an unsuccessful provocation, and I didn't get anything out of it beyond a few wispy ideas about how we may never really understand what we want from each other.

Undeniably striking from an aesthetic standpoint, but dragged down by repetitive, ultimately vacuous cat-and-mouse games.

What a deliciously demented and disturbing drama Nicolas Pesce's "Piercing" is, dripping with gore and laden with forbidden innuendo.

For every clever twist, there's a dead giveaway; the movie's high-style décor is more alluring than the drama.

Darkly funny, but still unapologetically grim, this plays very much like a modern version of Takashi Miike's iconic 1999 film Audition, only with a lot less of a brutal finale.

Piercing is an unnerving mix of loveliness and lunacy.

Pesce deploys a potent arsenal of stylistic tools - urban landscape miniatures, plushly disquieting Lynchian interiors, flashbacks, creature effects, and florid gore - to tell the story of Reed.

The dream-team pairing of Abbott and Wasikowska, two of the most interesting, subtle and risk-loving performers of their generation, is a huge compensation.
