Conceptually, Lust, Caution has been thoroughly thought-through, down to every lipstick stain Wei leaves on her teacups.

It is impossible to say that Wong Chia Chi/Mrs. Mak likes his tastes in pain and bondage, but they create a fearful intimacy that, for both of them, transcends their lives apart.

...båret af stilsikre billedkompositioner og en i det hele taget helt vanvittig smuk visualisering af et stemningsfuldt Kina i 40’erne.

En av Ang Lees bästa filmer. Bra scenografi, välregisserad och bra skådespel. Tang Wei är stjärnan i filmen.

En af de gode Ang Lee film. Lidt forvirrende i starten med to tidslinier, men derefter bliver den VILDT god. Også ret sexet.
