Reviews

In the Cut has received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising Meg Ryan's bold departure from her romantic comedy image and the film's atmospheric and tense tone. The New York Times described it as 'a stylish exercise in erotic tension,' while Rotten Tomatoes gave it a score of 34% based on 161 reviews. However, other critics found the film's graphic content and murky plot detracted from its potential, with Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times stating, 'The film seems more interested in its sex scenes than in their implications.' Despite these criticisms, In the Cut has garnered a cult following for its daring approach to the thriller genre and Meg Ryan's fearless performance. IMDb rates the movie 5.4/10, while Metacritic gives it a score of 47/100.
