Phil Hoad Guardian Some subtext would have been nice, but skin-deep does the job, too. Rated: 3/5 Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Ross McIndoe Slant Magazine Grafted’s biggest problem is that it loses all momentum once the face-swapping kicks into motion. Rated: 2/4 Jan 19, 2025 Full Review Zachary Lee Chicago Reader The film may not always find a way to bridge its genre thrills with its themes, but its heart is in the right place, reminding us that when we put on too many masks in the service of pleasing others, we begin to forget the texture of our own faces. Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Elisa Guimarães Collider With beautiful visuals, an interesting plot, and a middle that some might even say makes up for its beginning and ending, Grafted is worth watching and Sasha Rainbow is a horror filmmaker to keep an eye on. Rated: 6/10 Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT It ends up feeling more like a series of face swapping scenes instead of a coherent message. There are some great effects, but they are mixed in with glaring plot holes. Despite these flaws, it ends up being a fun watch. Jan 20, 2025 Full Review Vanessa Maki The Mary Sue Without a strong lead, a film like Grafted wouldn’t hit a home run. Thankfully, Joyena Sun’s performance goes from soft-spoken to deliciously unhinged. Rated: 4/5 Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
