"Essentially, the film is as much a whodunit as an audacious testimony of queer identity and sexuality, thoroughly drenched in the retro fabrics, palette (giallo infusion) and atmospherics (voyeuristic, steamy), KNIFE + HEART flaunts male nudity, homosexual gaze, transsexual presentation daringly and unflinchingly. A blond, whey-faced Nicolas Maury's brazen effeminacy is as foregrounded as Paradis' own lovesick melancholia, it is pulpy yet defiantly inviting, strangely mythical (the talon man, anyone?), but its emotional undertow never resides, like Romane Bohringer's cameo, her inarticulate yearning is layered beautifully."
