      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. Read critic reviews

        A Cure for Wellness is most certainly not going to be for everyone. It's spectacularly, deliberately, uncomfortably ugly (albeit, in a bizarrely beautiful way). It's story is flawed, it's long (two and a half hours all told), it's slow, some of its setups don't evolve into payoffs, it's not half as mysterious or clever as it might think it is, and it can't even hold to its own mythology 100%. But I loved it.

        Love the gothic horror here. Its constantly unnerving and often unpredictable. Let's keep giving Verbinski millions of dollars to make movies everybody hates but me.

        The incredible design and camera work is not enough to overcome a simplistic plot. I will compare this to Tim Burton who has demonstrated a gift for the odd but at the expense of the storyline. I liked certain parts of the film but it felt too commercial to be successful, the budget needed to be lower and the weirdness dialled up to 11. The film flopped and it's fairly obvious why a mid budget film would flop when it is this bizarre. The film needed to be in the 20 million, I can't see where the budget went and that is the problem. In an era where Blumhouse is punching out quality films below 10 million, you need to aim for a similar bar. The director had a great eye for Pirates and The Ring but he hasn't set the world on fire and I feel he needs to reinvent the wheel, no point coasting and that's how I felt for most of the movie. There was a waiting and when it was finally revealed, you just shrug and wonder why you just watched a movie past 2 hours without any redeeming twists or set pieces. This was a giant miss and while it's not terrible, it is no where near being good. 13-06-2017.
