"'Hold Me Now' ... exposes a different kind of surface tension altogether. Over an anguished bedroom argument scene from the television show 'Little House on the Prairie', the titular Thompson Twins song plays without a singer, and the background music comes to the fore as the characters wring their hands, grab at each other’s faces, and shout. Things come undone as the fight escalates, seahorses appear at the chorus, and the screen erupts in a dizzying flicker. By the final, relentless verse, the woman has torn down the curtains and crashed through the window. A bystander appears from within, horrified at the sight of blood and broken glass, the stickiness of pop, and a song you can’t get out of your head." - Genevieve Yue, Reverse Shot
