All of the best parts here go to women -- Sciorra, De Mornay and Julianne Moore in a funny supporting bit as Claire's cynical, suspicious friend.

Things go about the way you expect them to, but Curtis Hanson, who directed, manages to make it work.

Exploitation of child abuse and baby-stealing make this one a particularly nasty business.

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is that rare thing, a realistic thriller wise enough not to sell short any of its characters. Just be prepared to become very, very scared when you see it.

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, though it positions itself as chilling suspense, is not even mildly scary; it's just offensive.

With its banal, docile household threatened by an enemy within, the film is like The Stepfather without wit or irony.

This is pure unbridled hokum, of course, but extremely effective until the last 30 minutes, when the plot rapidly self-destructs.

This is De Mornay's film and she's a wicked treat, looking daggers at her enemy one moment and then glazing over with sweetness the next.

At its best, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is a bright, nasty psychological thriller with a joker up its sleeve.
July 10, 2013
Unpretentious and efficient.

The careful structure of THTRTC guarantees that the movie will generate a fair amount of suspense throughout. But the single-mindedness of the movie is a genuine limitation, and, watching it, you begin to feel spoon-fed.

The film is unusually gripping.
