What to Know

Critics Consensus

A Cure for Wellness boasts a surfeit of visual style, but it's wasted on a derivative and predictable story whose twists, turns, and frights have all been more effectively dealt before.

Kristen Lopez Culturess The problems lie in an excessively lengthy runtime resulting in repetition of scares before an utterly bizarre finale. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian Verbinski's gothic psychological thriller is absorbing. It unfolds in a maze even Theseus would not escape. It will keep you guessing until the almost unbelievable ending. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 24, 2017 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald If Verbinski had brought pace, the film might have worked, but he takes an eternity, then throws it all to the winds with a finale that's remarkable silly, even in this fanciful neck of the woods. Rated: 3/5 Mar 15, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Sheer peculiarity may earn A Cure for Wellness devoted enthusiasts, but those hoping for story logic or emotional involvement will feel unfulfilled. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene This movie is lush, cruel and stuffed to the brim with unforgettable images. Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review Overstays its welcome and moves from 'fun creepy' to truly disturbing. Rated: C Aug 28, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Julian S. Half the fun is just drinking it in—it’s an absolute visual knockout. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review John W The film is partly mysterious and interesting, but its length often makes it boring. There are a few moments that are good, but it's just too long and rather average overall. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Carlos T Filme: A Cura Assistido: 7-8-25 Elenco: @danedehaan @miagothcrew @therealjasonisaacs @celia.imire Harry Groener, Modelo: #suspense #drama Duração: 2h Ano: 2016 Minha opinião: Assistindo a este filme me remeteu ao filme “Ilha do Medo” Leonardo di Caprio, onde ele tem suas alucinações. Aqui tem um enredo parecido. Temos uma seita que esta por anos operando, onde grupos de senhores e senhoras vão para se tratar e buscar a “Cura”. Cura esta que estão com enguias que são ingeridos pelos pacientes. Temos o jovem executivo que tem ambição de galgar mais alto, para isso ele é designado para buscar um dos presidentes da empresa para os EUA. Mas oque encontra é um local onde fazem experimentos loucos. E tem a jovem Hannah (Goth) que esta sendo preparada para ter o filho do seu pai, para seita. E tudo uma loucura, e o jovem Lockhart (DeHaan) curioso e com a intenção desvendar todo o segredo e loucura de Dr. Heinrich (Isaacs). A parte mais esdrúxula é o pai querendo “comer” a filha. No final tudo acaba em fogo. Vale apena assistir? Não Nota: 3 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review M D Ridiculous pile of dog poop. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Appu S Boring , repetitive, no logic waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/25 Full Review Miguel C i love this movie .
