Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

gridoon2018 If they had cut out (or at least shortened) all the scenes of Cliff Robertson walking (usually up or down some stairs) from "Dominique", it could have been an effective 30-minute episode of a TV mystery series - and that's probably what it should have been in the first place. I like the plot of this movie: it keeps you guessing all the way and it ties up all the loose ends before it's over. But Michael Anderson's direction is, with a few exceptions (Robertson seeing the tombstone with his name on it, the murder of the doctor), stiff and pedestrian. The characters are lacking in personality and humor, though it's always a pleasure to see Jenny Agutter, for my tastes perhaps the most beautiful actress in 1970s cinema. ** out of 4.

Cristi_Ciopron If you enjoy only those Gothic movies that are exciting and dynamic and expressive, DOMINIQUE might not be for you. DOMINIQUE seems I wouldn't say subdued—but peculiar.'Dominique' is a certainly interesting, if not overly exciting, spooky outing from '78, year when Cliff Robertson was already 55 (--he was a bit younger than Clift and a bit older than Brando and Newman--) but looked much younger I would say. The script isn't pretentious but genuinely intriguing; the score might seem a bit heavy, and the direction, plagued by some mediocrity and '70s triteness, could be better.Good Gothic movie, and admissible role for daddy Robertson who plays an English businessman, mean, cold, brutish. A British tale, with accents of GIALLO, a case of the husband pushing his wife towards suicide, that deserved to be better directed and shot. As script now, it reminds one a bit about Clouzot—if you are going to take my meaning.

dbborroughs Back in the early days of home video the trailer for this film seemed to appear on the front of every video tape my family watched, so much so that if anyone says the name Dominque, everyone automatically says "Dominique? Dominique is Dead". the film itself is an okay thriller which concerns a man out for money and the wife who dies and then comes back to haunt him. The film is well made by Michael Andersen who had a long career and turned out films like Orca, Shake Hands with the Devil, The Quiller Memorandum and Logan's Run. The cast which is headed by Cliff Robertson is first rate and it helps to sell the script which is more than just a little clichéd (Frankly if you can't guess where this is going you haven't seen many movies). Its an unremarkable but enjoyable distraction, worth picking up if you should see it in the 99 cent rack.

manicgecko I was pleasantly surprised at this movie. Expecting B-rate 70's schlock (not that there is anything wrong with that) I witnessed a movie that actually held my attention without me having to snipe at it for entertainment. My major complaint - this movie was too long by half. We got a few too many scenes of Ballard waking up, putting on his house coat, and walking to somewhere. Something else happens - Ballard puts his housecoat on again and walks. Acting was stiff at best, and it looks as if somebody forgot to pay the light bill, but those could be overcome by a somewhat interesting plot line, a unexpectedly brilliant ending, and some psych. intrigue I didn't think possible in the 70's. I just wish somebody would talk more than 1 sentence somewhere in the movie.
