Reviews

It takes a lot of skill to scare people, and a whole lot less to startle them.

It’s a haunting and unsettling piece of cinema that, despite its flaws, leaves a lasting impression.

Repetitive and labored are the traits most commonly found on the road to sobriety, although the authentic notion of translating them to the screen doesn’t favor the viewer.

A movie filled with so much contempt for its fans that you wonder why it even bothered to please them in the first place.

It’s fun in the present and harnesses the power of movie stars in a time when that magic has steadily faded.

The film will captivate younger viewers and leave older ones reflecting on the delicate balance between the human (and mechanical) and natural worlds.

It’s a gratifying film for anyone interested in the interplay of history, art, and identity
