Gallo and Dalle are sublimely tragic figures; the scene in which Shane stalks around Notre Dame like Frankenstein unleashed is a pitch-perfect encapsulation of the way the film plays with and deepens movie-monster archetypes.

A success in some sense, but it's hard to like a film so cold and dead.

Vincent Gallo is extremely talented in many ways. He is also complex sensitive, poetic and very funny. The public responses to him vary greatly. He is completely misunderstood and those who misunderstand his intensions and humor will certainly misunderstand his masterful works of art. Gallo's performance in Trouble Every Day is fantastic

Apart from about two very dramatic sequences, Trouble Every Day is a slow slog that goes more or less nowhere before ending suddenly and without warning. It's like Claire Denis came up with the one "big scene" and then decided to write up a bunch of filler to go around it. One redeeming factor: The "big scene" has one of the most realistic performances of a person in agony that I've ever seen. Pain is often poorly acted, but the performer here just nails it and makes the scene believable.

As palpable as the atmosphere is, had the film boasted a clearer, more memorable story and performances that were a step above adequate, the creepiness wouldn't have simply lingered with the viewer, it would have gotten under their skin.

Highly problematical. The trouble with "Trouble" is one of temperament. Denis' formality and seriousness make the horror genre a risky business for her, especially when sex is combined with outrageous gore.
33
A demented, orgiastically gory vampire/sex parable.
25
Insipid, self-indulgent bit of art-house macabre.

This modern-day vampire story is purposefully shocking in its eroticized gore, if unintentionally dull in its lack of poetic frissons.

I gave it 2 stars because I watched it to the end. I also gave it 2 stars because I was only slightly angry at myself for wasting my valuable time. I also gave it 2 stars because it deserves 2 stars.
