Quick Hit

Repulsion doesn’t just depict breakdown—it drags you inside the geometry of it. Nasty, immaculate work.

Full Take

Polanski turns an apartment into a nervous system and lets every crack, sound, and hallucination push the film further inward. Catherine Deneuve’s blankness becomes the perfect surface for panic to spread across. It is one of the sharpest psychological horror films ever made. ELITE.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
