"...THE OGRE marks a triumphant return to filmmaking for Schlondorff....THE OGRE is a wrenching, richly imaginative tale of innocence, corruption and redemption..." Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (01/08/1999)
"...Malkovich's prodigious work lends THE OGRE just one of its knotty mysteries in this epic-in-a-psyche....Daring -- and unnerving..." Chicago Sun-Times - Bill Stamets (08/27/1999)
