Reception
Critical reception for 'Deadly Virtues: Love.Honour.Obey.' has been positive and 'Ain't It Cool News' remarked that due to the film's graphic nature concerning sex, violence, and BDSM, the film will not be for everyone and that "It is extremely hard to watch in places and the politically correct lobby will undoubtedly be horrified by some of it, but that is the point. The films intention is to use a cheap genre staple to show how we allow ourselves to become party to violence." 'Screen Daily' praised the movie for its acting, writing saying "When the shocks stop and the audience finally gets to catch a breath, it becomes apparent how great the acting is by the two-and-a-half leads." 'Starburst' and 'Scream' also wrote favorable reviews, with 'Starbust' stating "A film as hypnotic as it is distasteful, 'Deadly Virtues' certainly bears checking out. Like the art of bondage, it's not for everyone, but those who can appreciate such things should enjoy it. Deadly or otherwise, it does have its virtues."
