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.

The problems lie in an excessively lengthy runtime resulting in repetition of scares before an utterly bizarre finale.

3.5/5

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.

3/5

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.

Sheer peculiarity may earn A Cure for Wellness devoted enthusiasts, but those hoping for story logic or emotional involvement will feel unfulfilled.

This movie is lush, cruel and stuffed to the brim with unforgettable images.

Overstays its welcome and moves from 'fun creepy' to truly disturbing.

Os atores em si são muito bons e as cenas perturbadoras também me agradaram, mas é muito tempo de filme pra uma história que se desenvolveria em um período bem menor. Sem muita surpresa no final, é imaginável o desfecho no decorrer do filme.

A cure for not being bored perhaps... it's a long-winded, largely pointless, thoroughly disappointing effort from a usually half decent director. After 90 minutes you'll wonder if you can take anymore... don't bother is my advice

The first and second act of this movie were pretty good, and provided decent mistery and intrigue, backed by an absolutely gorgeous cinematography (even if the color pallette is on the "boring side". Then, the third act comes and it kind of falls flat. But it's still worth the watch, for the cinematography alone, or for you to come with your own theories on what it all means and what unfolds at the end.

The type of movie you are better off muting & just looking at all the gorgeous visuals & sweeping landscape shots. The editing is striking as it’s full of interesting & creepy imagery. The set design, use of the color green, & focus on water all look beautiful. Yet the story is very dull, shallow, predictable, & drags with the lengthy runtime. The gothic atmosphere mixed with Wall Street characters is unique but full of unoriginal genre tropes.

Me gustó y disfruté viéndola; la recomendaría, la verdad, pero en algún momento en el que no haya algo mejor para ver. Sin meterme demasiado, las dos horas de película están muy bien, y con lo que concuerdo bastante es con el final. Es demasiado extraño y, en verdad, malo si lo comparas con el resto de la película. Pero insisto, vean la si es posible, solo no esperen nada del final.
