Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

The noir mood of menace and emotional deadness in Black Medusa has been very carefully contrived and curated.

Rated: 3/5

TAKE ONE Magazine

BLACK MEDUSA grapples with how people and identities are absorbed or dissolved in trauma, violence, and the vulnerability of love. What is owed to our saviours and those we save, and how do we reckon with taking fate in our hands?

Joseph Fahim

Middle East Eye

An impressionistic revenge fable gorgeously shot in black and white, 'Black Medusa' is an angry shriek; a brazenly amoral meditation on violence and the righteousness of retribution, and a moody panorama of a lawless Tunisian capital.

AIPT

The lack of clear motivation takes away from the sheer brutality of the protagonist. There is no doubting how good the film looks and sounds, but it never sits right.

The Tunisian cityscape is often eye-catching, [but] what audience wants to come to a serial killer movie to admire the scenery?
