Darja S @darjasuri Jul 22 Disagree with the low ratings completely. Yes, it's long, and some choices are questionable — but the film is a powerful metaphor! Jason Isaacs is perfectly cast as a villain. Worth the two and a half hours. Full review on my website darjasuri.

It's your cliché plot where a normal guy stuck in an asylum as a patient tries to save everyone but it's too late. The worst part is that he has so many chances to go to the airport and fly back to NYC but instead he always stops off somewhere instead and gets caught.

The business man made some of the dumbest choices and also bought an underage girl alcohol then left her at the bar full of men? Talk about creepy and irresponsible. Also, this is a horror film- why the heck is there a boss fight at the end? 😂 Good horror should not have a closed resolution- otherwise we stop thinking about it the second we leave the theater See more Marco L @decatur555 Jun 25 A Cure for Wellness is a visually striking and atmospheric psychological thriller with a strong gothic mood. Gore Verbinski creates a memorable setting: a remote wellness center in the Swiss Alps, white corridors, water, strange treatments and a constant feeling that something is wrong beneath the calm surface. Dane DeHaan and Jason Isaacs work well, but Mia Goth is the most magnetic presence in the film, bringing mystery, innocence and quiet intensity to every scene. The film has ambition and many impressive images, but it is also too long and tries to combine too many ideas at once. It is interesting and stylish, though not fully satisfying. A beautiful, uneven and overextended film.

Warning - some of the scenes are very unpleasant, especially if you don't like eels. PS who would book themselves into a clinic run by Lucius Malfoy? Asking for trouble I say. See more Blue T @NK2011 Mar 20 I first watched this three years after its release on theaters. It was 2019, and I was eight years old. It was a disturbing, confusing thing to watch and have since then I remembered as a fever dream. Now I have rewatched it and I still find it very bizarre, but it is a hauntingly memorable movie. Unforgettable, even. See more Read all reviews
