Critics consensus

“Ang Lee's Lust, Caution is a tense, sensual and beautifully-shot espionage film.”

Amy Nicholson

RTI.E. WeeklyFeb 22, 2008

What lingers is the suspicion that women carry a burden of war they can't ever put down, and that even noble idealists can justify turning their girls into whores.

RTLondon Evening StandardJan 4, 2008

You leave the theatre a trifle exhausted but rewarded by a resonance few films possess.

RTIndependent (UK)Jan 4, 2008

A pleasure to watch a film as visually stylish as it is psychologically demanding. I wish it had been twice as long.

A complex exploration of love and duty, and the endlessly shifting alliances within.
