- 85Film ThreatBobby LePireFilm ThreatBobby LePireSuitable Fresh is wild and weird, but it has something to say beneath all the kinks and mind games.
- 83ColliderIsabella SoaresColliderIsabella SoaresIn short, this is the perfect cinematic venture for those who are fond of chaotic, psychological thrillers that keep you engaged, but that don't keep you guessing when it all comes to a close.
- 80The Daily BeastNick SchagerThe Daily BeastNick SchagerAn affectionate homage that captures the psychosexual delirium of its genre inspirations, it’s a throwback chiller steeped in blood, kink, and the terrifying thrill of violation.
- 78Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerAustin ChronicleRichard WhittakerHonestly, this may be the only horror film that invokes Red Shoe Diaries and Cthulhu equally.
- 75RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyRogerEbert.comGlenn KennyWhile neither particularly profound nor earth-shatteringly scary, Suitable Flesh is better than passable grisly horror fun in a very specific tradition.
- 75IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichEvery winking iris shot and cheesy cross-dissolve adds to the timeless spirit of a film that knows beauty may be short-lived, but good schlock never dies.
- 60We Got This CoveredScott CampbellWe Got This CoveredScott CampbellThe spirit of Stuart Gordon is alive and well in Suitable Flesh, with Joe Lynch picking up the baton and delivering both an ode to his inspiration and a riotous horror comedy in its own right.
- 60Wall Street JournalWall Street JournalThe movie amounts to some gleefully grotesque moments scattered across an arch but slack pseudo-drama, fluent in the psychobabble spoken by a few too many entries in this genre.
- 50VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyThere’s no lack of effort here, but too often Suitable Flesh just feels effortful, rather than the outrageous good time aimed for.
- 40The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawDespite a very game lead performance from Heather Graham, and some amusing 90s-style erotic thriller mannerisms – voile curtains blowing on a hot summer night while a sex scene happens to a wafting sax accompaniment – this left me not knowing quite where to look.
