"Sometimes overwrought excess can be its own reward. If Obsession had been even a little more subtle, had made even a little more sense on some boring logical plane, it wouldn't have worked at all."

New York Post
New York Post"Whatever shred of credibility the movie retains is dispersed by the final, dead serious directorial hocus‐pocus."

The New York Times
The New York Times"De Palma's direction has its splashy slickness, but the people serve as mere props for the effects."
