Critics Consensus

Heavy on the sex and violence, Baise Moi is not so much a daring as a sloppy piece of work.

What we have here is a hard-core and sometimes condomed "Thelma and Louise" with a good dose of Russ Meyer's "Faster Pussycat Kill Kill" thrown in. Go to Full Review

The mix of real sex and fake-looking violence in this 2000 French feature is curiously unprovocative. Go to Full Review

Baise-Moi is like a cheapie, vintage American exploitation movie, only one that goes so far beyond the bounds of taste that its affrontiveness becomes in large part what the film is about. Go to Full Review

Alfonso O @AlfonsoNeedsToReview2013 1 day ago This is the most disgusting film at all times, all it can rely on this film is sex, sex, and more sex!, not recommendable, 1.5/5 Stars In Total! See more Craig S @Craig57 May 12, 2026 Gritty and raw, Baise Moi shows us how numb and calculating society can become when dealing with repetitive patriarchal violence and trauma. It is definitely a difficult watch, but the film feels deeply realistic and prioritizes honest storytelling over comfort or pleasantness. See more MariofanAlex445 T @RT47678067 May 16, 2025 Someone may justify this movies existence but I just can’t. The only reason it’s not getting half a star is because this film is a fantastic modern take on exploitation cinema. From the nudity, to the dialogue, to the over the top violence with no sense of morality or remorse. It’s unflinching, almost like the director is begging to prove a point to someone. This is the movie I would make as a rebuttal to someone calling me a sissy. I just can’t take this film seriously, and learning that both of the actresses were porn actress made a LOT of sense. I was wondering why it felt so stilted. Unfortunately, there is some sad history behind this film. The woman who portrayed Nadine commit suicide in 2005. That was a genuinely upsetting thing to hear and I wish it wasn’t so. This film stands out as a black sheep in her filmography, her one attempt at escaping that terrible realm she found herself locked in. Fly high Nadine. This film stands as a weird experiment. That can’t save this movie from a bad rating though, 1/5 stars. See more Wayne K @WayneKelso Oct 14, 2023 A film that's just begging to be banned and/or censored, Baise-moi, isn't exactly high art, but I found myself surprisingly compelled by it, mostly due to its characters and the bizarre and bloody odyssey they go on. The violence and sexual content is as graphic as you'd expect from a film with this kind of reputation, but I think what likely bothered people so much about it is the flippancy with which its treated. The leads kill at will while expressing no remorse, even acting gleefully in some instances, and the implication that a rape victim could be so nonplussed by the experience is bound to ruffle some feathers. The poor visual quality gives it a very stripped down, home movie feel, like its being made by a crazed film student using the cheapest camcorder they could get their hands on. If you've seen Natural Born Killers, the vibe and general storyline will feel very familiar to you, right down to the attention our leads receive from the media. Watching it is far from a pleasant experience, but it's interesting characters and escalating storyline were enough to keep me invested until the very end. See more Jul 14, 2022 Street-art on celluloid: technically crude, but that perfectly fits the primal cry that the movie is. Don't expect a "balanced view" of grunge life in France— written by an ex-prostitute, co-directed by a porn star, the question the movie throws at you is "What kind of life experience do these violent fantasies spring from?" The film's honesty is stunning. See more Jun 23, 2020 Shit, shocking, but unsatisfying like smoking bad hash as they do in the movie. The nudity does not add anything productive.
