Culturess

From its superb ensemble cast to deeply striking examples of blocking to an emotional gut-punch of an ending, Aattam functions effortlessly as a captivating thriller and a vital, haunting portrait of how abuse of sexual trauma survivors takes many forms.

AATTAM is a first-class, multi-layered and thematically pointed chamber play with a strong ensemble and that special grounding of Malayalam cinema.

Rated: 8/10

Rohan Naahar

The Indian Express

Ekarshi performs a particularly deft sleight of hand, setting up a locked-room mystery of sorts, before revealing Aattam to be a far more ambitious project than he’d initially let on.

Conversations on the all-pervasiveness of patriarchy and violence routinely draw this clichéd caveat from defensive participants: Not All Men. Aattam is a quiet reminder that ... the appropriate rejoinder often is: Yes, All Men.

Rated: 4.5/5

Film Companion

The writing is consistently surprising with the film working both as an intricate study of the male psyche and an impressive thriller.

S. R. Praveen

The Hindu

Anand Ekarshi’s film masterfully peels the thin veneer of progressiveness that men carry as a mask, and also shows how even the friendliest of spaces can turn hostile to women who dare to stand up for themselves.

Slow-paced yet you never lose focus. No camera trick, no sound just pure dialogue and story telling.
