Kamelya Youssef Bitch Media Defies genre. Jan 22, 2021 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online It's so smart, meticulous and fresh that I can only hope it marks the beginning of a provocative new franchise. Rated: A Sep 1, 2017 Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Little White Lies Like a mosaic of shimmering fragments that do not compose a bigger picture, Ana Lily Amirpour's debut feature brims with stylised qualities that have been prioritised over story and characters. Rated: 3/5 May 27, 2015 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... the film, shot in high-contrast black-and-white widescreen almost entirely at night, is like an Iranian film noir by way of a crime drama with supernatural edges. Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Brings together a number of unique perspectives on the vampire genre, with its style and aesthetic elevating the narrative twists to the subgenre's redundant lore. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Jenna Stoeber Polygon There is no other horror movie like this movie. Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Raleigh R Yep. It it what it is, a melodramatically sad masterpiece. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Querent M This is a near perfect film. Just an absolutely fresh take on the vampire genre. Excellent direction and acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Post-Apocalyptic T It was so boring. This is one of those artsy movies that everybody fawns over and if you don't like it, it's obviously because you didn't "get" it. I'd rather be thought of as unrefined or uneducated if it meant never having to watch another art house flick again. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/17/23 Full Review j s Thinking would have spoiled it however an excuse to watch it more than once which I can say thinking or not a desire will arise too see it again. When the spirit of a cat is let out the next meal not at home seeks out romance as in who do I think for this blessing? Unfortunately the littler box back at home s left empty other than that of the father covering up the illegal ownership of the feline with his opium habit when the local mosque would have blessed it by suggesting the proper incense for the temporary containment... well fed and well papered a black and white street cat cannot help his desire and she having dwelling alone with humans has come to know their ways as far as the Western paradise putty in her paws in the desert she forms the man she wants with fur as her burka and nakedness on her mind who can distinguish vampire human and cat two sons one viscous and cruel sinking his teeth in his fathers meal while the younger naive one inherits the earth and only delivers it right back to the true heir wherein the heroine saves the entire fortune just as the Matri returns home from late night prayer to watch out for just such a thing entering the city centre which was never a theatre for protesting ones lot or else crazy truly would be a thing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review Oksana F The movie is visually stunning and emotionally captivating with a sapid soundtrack list. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review bcg e The cat was so cute especially in the car scene(HUGE FAN) and didn't die! That is something a lot of movies need to work on. The movie itself was very arthouse and the black and white really worked! The plot was a bit confusing but I liked it in the end and I'm slowly piecing it together. Looking forward to seeing what the director can pull off in the future. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
