... It’s a movie built on a potentially star-making performance from Kular. It’s at its best, though, when it leans into the dread rather than going big; when it’s simmering away nicely, rather than hitting boiling point.

It’s a film of our horrible moment, not only in its digital wrapping, but in its grim snapshot of the ever-increasing, easily disseminated hatred and fear that have further warped how people see and treat each other.

3/5

The latest nerve-shredding thriller from Philip Barantini, Accused, is a depressingly accurate portrayal of a society driven by technology and poisoned by xenophobia.

A superb movie! Fantastic acting, screenplay, cinematography, and directing. It delivers a very deep and important message about the modern witch-hunt mentality. It's all the same as before—just like in Frankenstein.
