Rating: 7.7/10 --
The pace may be a little too relaxed at times, and I'll admit the ending left me feeling a little cheated, but Guiraudie is in total control for the entire film.

Way Too Indie
Distributors seem not to realize that an explicit film about male cruising has the potential to attract an audience beyond just gay men: many women, straight and queer, are curious about the type of anonymous, repercussion-free sex shown in the film.

Bitch Flicks
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Carefully and often brilliantly creates its own Eden-like universe.
Seattle Times
Rating: 3/4 --
A simple and ruthlessly effective exercise in minimal narrative and style, Alain Guiraudie's moral tale is so restrained and atmospheric that the nudity and graphic sex don't upstage the creepy mood of seductive, inescapable doom.

Boston Globe
Rating: 3/5 --
Alain Guiraudie's thriller is characterised both by its formal ingenuity and its surprisingly graphic gay sex. The plotting rekindles memories both of Patricia Highsmith novels and of Hitchcock films.

Independent (UK)
A compellingly eerie tale of identity, self-loathing, death and sex in a world we rarely see portrayed in film.

Product Description:
One of the most critically acclaimed films of the year, STRANGER BY THE LAKE has been described as a modern-day Hitchcockian masterpiece. A picturesque cruising spot in the countryside of France sets the scene between desire and murder. Franck, a regular at the lake, meets the handsome Michel and soon falls in love with the mysterious stranger. When a body is discovered in the lake, Franck and Michel soon become primary suspects of the investigation. STRANGER BY THE LAKE is a unique, erotic thriller of seduction and sexual obsession that builds to an unforgettable and terrifying climax.
