(02/09/1996, p.4D, Mike Clark): "...Writer-director Mathieu Kassovitz (Cafe au Lait) mines so much tension and pointed dialogue from a low budget and deceptively simple premise..." -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars , (02/09/1996, p.C21, Caryn James): "...[A] precise and troubling film....Smartly aware that many urban problems are also global...", (02/22/1996, p.70, Peter Travers): "...Prepare to be jolted by the intensity....The performances are as white hot as the subject matter...", (03/08/1996, p.F16, Kevin Thomas): "...Raw, vital and captivating....HATE is a visceral fable of a divided society heading blindly for a crash-landing...", (04/19/1996, p.32, Roger Ebert): "...As a filmmaker, Kassovitz has grown since his first film. His black-and-white cinematography camera is alert, filling the frame with meaning his characters are not aware of...", (05/29/1995, Lisa Nesselson): "...Extremely intelligent....The in-your-face lensing and more formal compositions are used to maximum effect...", (06/01/2006, p.88-89, Matthew Leyland): "For all the comic byplay, Kassovitz keeps the viewer braced for the simmering tension to boil over." |
