I found an awesome review Tim Hayes did of The Kreutzer Sonata in Cinemattraction.
The film’s acting honors belong squarely to Röhm, a brave and athletic performer who reminded me intensely of Theresa Russell in her prime, especially when the film’s explicitness brought to mind the things Russell used to do in Nic Roeg films. In a potentially messy part that receives its fair share of victimization, Röhm makes Abby’s numerous shifts of mood register under her composed, elegant surface, an impressively pragmatic performance.
My theory is that most of that came from Röhm herself, who was equally down-to-earth off-screen. Having posed on the post-screening red carpet and engaged cheerily with passing festival folk, she slipped away with friends but no obvious EIFF minder and clambered into the first passing cab big enough to take her train.
Check out the full review here.
