Critics' reviews
- "One of the most effective thrillers in years, Attraction did an excellent job of mixing its suspense with trendy issues of sexual paranoia and monogamy"
- "Fatal Attraction is a spellbinding psychological thriller that could have been a great movie"
- "While billed as a romance and a thriller, the film strictly qualifies as neither, appealing to our prurience, guilt, hatred, and dread"
- "Lyne stops at nothing to provoke artificial sentimental feelings from the audience"
- "Well-made fictions like Fatal Attraction prosper because they seem more persuasive than fact"
