AND WITH SOME VERY POSITIVE REVIEWS
Kaj van Zoelen, Film Totaal"Thankfully Passion sees the return of De Palma the jazz artist who plays beautiful solos on old (known) melodies and is revitalized."
And Alex De Rouck sends along these quotes:
★★★★1/2 "De Palma is weer terug met een exquis vormgegeven thriller zoals alleen hij dat kan"- Filmtotaal.nl
("De Palma is back with an exquisitely crafted thriller as only he can")
★★★★ "Voyeurisme, dubbelganger, splitscreen: een echte De Palma" - NRC Handelsblad
("Voyeurism, double, split screen: a true De Palma")
★★★★ "(...) sensuele mis-en-scène, met elegante camerabewegingen" - NRC Next
("...sensual mis-en-scene, with elegant camera movements")
(Thanks, Alex!)
...AND SOME NOT SO POSITIVE, OF COURSE
M. Kremer, Spits
"Passion should be an old-fashioned steamy film noir, but is little more than a muddled fantasy about how all women are bitches..."
Lianne Koorn, Movie Scene
"A good thriller usually gets under the skin, but Passion is like an annoying mosquito that sits on your skin."
Barend de Voogd, Headlines
"It's all so exaggerated that you actually hope that De Palma wanted to make a parody."

There are two new interview clips from the set of Passion (links below). Thanks to Marina for letting us know about the Noomi Rapace clip, in which Rapace discusses how the four main actors melted their characters in with themselves, and were "soaked into this world of passion, in a way". In the other clip, Rachel McAdams talks about her character as someone who is "quite damaged," and how that comes out more and more as the film goes on. "She's sort of dealing with all kinds of demons," says McAdams in the video, "and I think she's quite lost. And I'm not sure that she's going to find her way back."
