Unbelievably shocking! - The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things review by Liz Augustine
My husband and I did not watch beyond 20 minutes of this movie. The child abuse depicted in this time, while real, seemed too crude and painful to watch any further.

Intriguing but Pretty Nasty - The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things review by Cato
To direct and take the leading part in any dramatic venture is pretty hard going, but Asia Argento managed it very well, if a little OTT at times. I can sympathise with the above reviewer, and the only thing I can think is that the actor was maybe older than the character he was playing. However, the poor lad was given some very hard treatment, especially by the customers who his prostitute mother was picking up every ten minutes. The film was indeed very nasty at times, and I wondered why it hadn't receive an 18 certificate. Perhaps it escaped the powers that be. Anyway, you have been warned.
