1. "A self-conscious modern-day film noir, ROMEO IS BLEEDING is breathtakingly vicious and features Lena Olin as a perversely winning and remarkably grotesque femme fatale."
2. "Although it eventually gets lost in its updated whirlpool of guilt, ROMEO delivers some memorable moments."
3. "ROMEO IS BLEEDING is nothing if not excessive, a tribute to the noir universe of tough guys and tougher women, a world in which love inevitably leads to sorrow and lust is synonymous with betrayal and ruin."
