Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. sallyjanecinema – ★★☆☆☆
   “Boxing Helena is certainly unique, but I’m not sure if I ever want to sit through it again. It’s surreal and off-putting in ways that feel intentional, but it left me cold.”

2. marzipan – ★★★☆☆
   “One of the weirdest love stories I’ve ever seen. Lynch definitely inherited her dad’s affinity for dream logic and uncomfortable relationships. Unsettling but kind of mesmerizing.”

3. countzander – ★☆☆☆☆
   “Absolutely bonkers premise that doesn’t pay off. The ending twist made me roll my eyes rather than gasp. Still, it’s a wild relic of ’90s erotic thrillers.”

4. jaythebutcher – ★★★★☆
   “This is just psychosexual madness. I don’t care if it’s messy, it’s fascinating and visually haunting. Sherilyn Fenn carries it with pure fire.”

5. kieralogan – ★★★☆☆
   “A disturbing commentary on obsession and objectification that sometimes stumbles under its own weight. But it’s bold, and that counts for something.”
