Entertainment Reviews:
As the plot escalates into increasingly arbitrary excesses of fantasy and heads for the predictable pay-off, the movie looks more and more like a potboiler.

Time Out
Unfortunately, [Roman Polanski's] current film, The Tenant veers dangerously close to parody and evokes not horror but laughter.

The film is superbly acted by Mr. Polanski, Mr. Douglas and Miss Winters.

Rating: 1/4 --
As a film by Polanski, it's unspeakably disappointing.

Chicago Sun-Times
Sven Nykvist's mulchy visuals capture every paint peel....It's disturbing stuff.
Total Film
It's an exercise in urban paranoia and mental disintegration that echoes or anticipates everything from Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby to Bitter Moon and The Pianist.
Village Voice
Rating: B+ --
This creepy psychological thriller, dealing with paranoia and split identity, is one of Polanski's most underestimated films.

Product Description:
Trelkovsky (director Roman Polanski), a Polish immigrant residing in Paris, moves into an apartment vacated by a young woman who committed suicide by leaping out of her window. Upon moving in, Trelkovsky begins feeling that the woman's personality traits are being thrust upon him. At a local shop, the proprietor offers him the breakfast and cigarettes that the woman usually purchased--and he accepts them. Holed up in the psychotic environment of a dark Parisian building that's peopled with odd characters, Trelkovsky feels himself overcome by a kind of madness. His slow mental deterioration finally compels him to emulate the woman's final, tragic hours. Polanski's twisted and darkly comic thriller was nominated for the Golden Palm (Best Picture) at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival.
