    "..........The reaction to the film was decidedly mixed by critics and audiences alike. There were numerous walkouts at the premiere with some people shouting, "This isn't punk!" at the screen. Others were offended by the film's numerous depictions of sex and violence while some were simply baffled by Jarman's off-kilter style with its low-budget aesthetics and artistic pretentions. Vivienne Westwood, the punk fashion designer, proclaimed it "the most boring and therefore most disgusting film I had ever seen." But there were numerous admirers as well.

    ".........The New York Times Vincent Canby called it "a long overdue treat", "another entertaining, weirdly elegant tale about people moving too fast, living too intensely, along the thin line that separates elation from despair." [1]The Los Angeles Times said it is "an existential love story that also laments the loss of honor and meaning in contemporary life."[.....

    "......It is firmly stuck in Fassbinder's harsh, icy world and is a film of cold intellectualism. Set in a house of dishonesty, Chinese Roulette functions as a beautiful chamber piece. Yet it slowly reveals social anarchy and the everyday fascism of family life. It's just one long buildup of simmering tension (sexual, dramatic, or otherwise), and we watch, waiting for and needing the evil to finally reveal the trut......
