Her Smell

"Some may not have the stomach for it, and yet Moss's oscillating, energy-devouring performance and the real-time composition of Perry's scenes make it almost impossible to look away."

"Once you're in there, you go with it. Elisabeth Moss's commitment, and the burnished bravura of her talent, pull you through."

"What resounds is not merely the sense that Moss is great, but the sense that we've barely scratched the surface of what she can do."

"Over and above the furious-and ultimately painfully tender-drama, Perry achieves something of a new, grand version of his own cinematic music."

"Elisabeth Moss... channels a combination of Courtney Love and Heath Ledger’s Joker with her spiteful, slowly imploding rock star."

"It’s truly one of the most noxious movies ever made, which might help to explain why it’s also Perry’s best."

"Becky sustains such an abusive, mad, pathetic and immature display for well over an hour that you just want to bolt."
