Los Angeles Times
As audacious as it is compelling and as dark as it is erotic. Its sexuality is explicit, alternately teasing and brutal, and one that is ultimately a cautionary tale.

Village Voice
Easily the artiest queer stroke movie of the year.

Chicago Reader
Reminded me most of Jean Genet's "Un chant d'amour," with bondage and latex replacing incarceration and cigarettes. This is not to say that it's equally good or poetic, but the eroticizing of a whole universe is no less apparent.

New York Post
An interesting addition to a genre that tends too often to disregard artistic technique.

TV Guide Magazine
While the transgressive trappings (especially the frank sex scenes) ensure that the film is never dull, Rodrigues's beast-within metaphor is ultimately rather silly and overwrought, making the ambiguous ending seem goofy rather than provocative.

L.A. Weekly
First-time director João Pedro Rodrigues' unwillingness to define his hero’s background or motivations becomes more and more frustrating as the film goes on.

The New York Times
Both grueling and dull. Imagine (if possible) a Pasolini film without passion or politics, or an Almodóvar movie without beauty or humor, and you have some idea of the glum, numb experience of watching O Fantasma.

A formação não de um sujeito, mas a demonstração de um animal, é essa a aventura dramática que vermos, um conteúdo erótico de vontades instintivas e animalescas de um animal Sapie de uma psique que vai de um simples trabalhador para algo que não deseja a sociedade, mas que quer fazer de suas vontades satisfeitas, custe qualquer coisa que for feito-lhe e que nenhuma autoridade pode desfazer-lo. Assim é a transformação do protagonista e de suas perturbadas saídas para o mundo, o mundo que ele ver como a carne que lhe deve satisfazer. Porém, tamanho seu foco traz somente essa perspectiva que não traz nenhumaelaboração maus Aprofundando ou que seja mais exposto em diálogos ou em autorreflexão, mas sim é dialogado em cenas, o sujo animalesco que quer assassinar o "Bom Selvagem" para ser um Canino faminto de toda carne erótica que puder aventurar-se não em sacanagem, mas, em atos de sexualidade, satisfação sexual colecionáveis de uma mente que rejeita o Status Quo das regras sociais para um Canino sexualizante e viciado em pulsões de morte.
