Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review For at least half of it, it was a genuinely eerie, uncanny film...very flawed, but for the things it gets right, worth a look. Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times So while the "Wait Until Dark"-like suspense of the film's climax feels a little rote, that's OK, because the foggy depiction of a troubled marriage is plenty disturbing. May 17, 2019 Full Review Simran Hans Observer (UK) The film lurches into conventional horror-thriller territory as it progresses, though there are interesting moments ... Rated: 3/5 Dec 17, 2017 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness On the whole, Amaurosis is a uniquely painful experience whose emotional trauma lingers even after it's reached its end. Rated: 4/5 Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Tom Jolliffe Flickering Myth Aided by inspired performers, The Unseen is a gripping and intelligent, Hitchcock inspired thriller. Rated: 4/5 Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Katrina Olson katrinaolson.ca The treatment of Amaurosis is beautiful, I fell in love with the interior spaces of the couples home and the lake cottage... Jasmine Hyde was both convincing and captivating as the grieving mother trying to move forward with her life. Rated: 6.5/10 Jun 1, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
