Critics' reviews
- "It may be a bit enigmatic and cerebral for some tastes, but if you don't mind your spirituality being served from a cracked chalice, you may find Touch is exactly what you've been seeking"
- "'Touch' never quite catches the satiric fire its subject seems to warrant. It's pleasant, disarming, and likable, but never quite miraculous."
- "Ultimately, Schrader pulls us into a mind-over-matter kind of purgatory: Fun and original as his film is, it lacks feeling and heart."
