[An] assured hybrid of backwoods thriller and fantasy ...

The Hollywood Reporter

It fascinatingly blurs the line between fantasy and reality, from the eerie intro all the way through to a surprise finale that raises goosebumps.

Globe and Mail

[Director Govinda] Van Maele is in no rush to get to the climax and he takes a long time to begin to build suspense, but the slow burn pays off in the end.

Rated: 2.5/4

Lovely every moment she is on screen, gutsy and vulnerable, cheerful and damaged...

You'll have a much better time with this movie if you go in knowing it's more of a mystery than a thriller; it's unusual, but never boring.

The ingredients for a good yarn are here: too bad Maele's focus is on getting that perfect shot.

Gutland: A drifter with a checkered past wanders into a sleepy farming community in rural Luxembourg looking for work. There, he discovers the bucolic, close-knit village has a past of its own. Although this EVENTUAL thriller grows about as slow as the village’s surrounding corn fields (at least until the final act), and the story is somewhat predictable, it does provide a nice glimpse into life in rural Europe and the ties that bind their small town inhabitants. Frederick Lau and Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread) are also quite charismatic onscreen and Lau cleans up pretty well too. B- ——- TheReelness.com
