Rating: 3.5/5 --
Piercing is a delicious comedy served pitch black...an audacious sophomore film from Nicholas Pesce.

Gayly Dreadful
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Compulsively watchable, even when this is because of how happily grotesque it can be.

Alternate Ending
The film is expertly crafted with jewel-toned cinematography, terrifically sleazy saxophone music, and performances by Abbott and Wasikowska that take turns seizing command.
Variety
3 stars out of 5 -- [A] beautifully stylized, highly demented take on the power dynamics of men and women...
Rolling Stone
3 stars out of 5 -- The dream-team pairing of Abbott and Wasikowska, two of the most interesting, subtle and risk-loving performers of their generation, is a huge compensation.
The Guardian
A psychosexual horror film with a seam of black comedy lying under the surface, Nicolas Pesce's PIERCING offers a sadomasochistic two-hander and dares viewers to figure out who's on top at any given moment.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 3/5 --
Ending just as its long-teased crescendo of reciprocal madness begins, Piercing is a little too smart for its own good.
