Essentially this is Fatal Attraction with the gender perspective reversed, which may constitute some sort of progress but hardly obviates the castration anxiety at the root of the story.

3/4

So no, it's not a sly, dark, romantic deadpan comedy after all. It's dark all right - but it looks more like a train than a light at the end of the tunnel.

Normally, I'm eager for a story about a woman humiliating herself for love, but the tone of this fanciful film at times struck me as all wrong.

A short, simple film that nails its aesthetic and provides a compelling tale of how someone psychologically unwell can confuse obsession for love.

The film bestows us the opportunity for dialogue, as the best of cinema and many titles often do.

B+

A psychedelic 70s exploitation look and feel gives Thirst Street a dreamy Euro-Trash quality.

2.3. I am not sure if you are supposed to feel bad for the girl or the guy but in the end I’m leaning much more towards the guy. Despite his obvious flaws you can tell her tried his best to be patient and as nice as possible with a psychotic woman

There's not much in the way of bruising insight into the makeup of a deteriorating personality, but for a compact spin through well-trod fields of lustful, sad-mad blindness, "Thirst Street" has its share of disreputably perverse pleasures.
