It’s a showcase of acting styles one doesn’t ever really witness anymore in film, but Cocteau’s fluid mastery of the material brings aesthetic sanity to the psychological conflicts.
Los Angeles Times
A film that, while stagebound, is alive at every moment to the possibilities of the screen.

Village Voice
By today's standards, the potential salaciousness of Les Parents Terribles may seem rather diminished, but it retains a unique energy thanks to its portrait of hopelessly enmeshed post-WWII bourgeois family ties.

"This Oedipal farce, perched on the edge of surrealist poetry, might be the most sophisticated sit-com ever."

Los Angeles Times
A cautionary tale of what happens when familial love and romantic love cross paths, Les Parents Terribles deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Cocteau's other, more widely-seen masterpieces.

Film Inquiry
Cocteau's dramatic model, as ever, never strays too far from Greek tragedy and resolves appropriately.

Product Description:
Cocteau's acclaimed tragi-comedy exposes all the petty jealousies and near-incestuous intimacy of dysfunctional middle-class family, sparked by the son's profession of love for a woman he doesn't know is his father's mistress.
