With visions and time travel elements (long-dead familiar faces, colonial soldiers), Indigenous lore, spirit animals, etc., it’s hard to fathom how an 81-minute movie can juggle so many ideas. Definitely a storytelling achievement for Hannam. Go to Full Review

A supernatural slow burn finds its footing along the way, but overreaches when applying certain VFX-rendered designs that feel artificial in the organic environment. Go to Full Review

Writer/director Hannam imbues their low-key chiller with enough cultural specificity to give it a voice in a crowded field, and it is further buoyed by unhurried pacing and strong performances. Go to Full Review

As much as it has a less focused narrative scope than their last film, At the Place of Ghosts still proves Bretten Hannam to be a skilled storyteller and a filmmaker to continue keeping an eye on. Go to Full Review

The film has beautiful cinematography that makes the most of its outdoor setting, but the real fresh air comes from an adventurous approach to depicting memory, both getting in the brothers’ way as well as occasionally smoothing their path forward. Go to Full Review

3/5
A film more interested in the journey than the destination, At The Place of Ghosts may frustrate audiences who are eager for answers and a straightforward story, but will reward patient viewers who are content to sink into the luscious visuals. Go to Full Review
