One of the horror sensations of the year, the feature debut from Carlota Pereda is a perfectly paced movie jumping from drama and social criticism (with its depiction of bullying and fat-shaming, and its effects on the victims) to thriller to full horror.
Nice thriller grounded on a basic and previously seen premise (the murder and rape of a young girl in an isolated area) but built around the great ambiance of the snowy landscapes of Wyoming supported by strong performances from the whole cast.
Classic monster film with a pseudo-environmentalist message that flatters as the movie progresses, just as its overall quality. Still, various technical elements and the simplicity of the story makes it an enjoyable short-timed film.
Emma Seligman’s feature debut is an OK film with various highs-and-lows in its plot, presentation, and characters but, all in all, it still serves as a curious and fairly entertaining film.
If a movie could embody the spirit of free jazz that would be it. Nicolas Roeg crafts a time-mosaic type of troublesome love story between two characters that from different backgrounds do not exactly now or understand what they want from one another in their relationship.
