Reviews of Jane Campion’s In The Cut have been shamefully grudging. Always an interesting Director, her intriguing, challenging film has been dreadfully served by Distributors. This is surprising for a bad reason as it is, briefly, perhaps the most sexually explicit movie so far in main line cinema - but for a legitimate artistic purpose. In The Cut is a more than adequate thriller in its own right, even if the final plot twist is not hard to guess. However, this often disturbing, unsettling, multi-layered film is worthy of far more serious attention than its limited distribution will attract.
