Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

The screenplay, co-written by Gass-Donnelly with Colin Frizzell, manages to be simultaneously lacking in coherence and utterly predictable, with viewers earning no points for guessing which one of the characters turns out to be the villain.

Rex Reed

Observer

Boring, derivative, and infuriatingly illogical, Lavender is a ghost story with no thrills, no surprises, and no sense.

Rated: 1/4

Beyond its unsettling intro, it steadily becomes a middling thriller.

This movie does not have any new ideas... but when an ending is good sometimes stuff can be forgiven.

Rated: 5/10

Cinema Crazed

... that's fine and good if the viewer goes in knowing and just wanting to see a mystery unfold with not all of its questions being answered.

Rated: 3/5

North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.)

Extra points to Gass-Donnelly for setting most of his scares during the daytime; even some of the familiar conventions of the genre (mazes, kids' lullabies, terror-fraught cornfields) seem fresh in the light of day.

Rated: 6/10

So dumb. Waste of time. Nothing happens. The “plot” begins at the last 5mins of the movie. An hour and a half waiting for something to happen. Waste of time. I never post a review but wow, total waste of time. The “plot” isn't even a plot, so dumb. Waste of time is the nicest way I can put it. Wanted to be nice and save you the time. -0 review.

Achei o filme "ok" ! Até pq ,sinceramente ,não sei o que o diretor queria fazer aqui ,um filme religioso ? Um terror Psico ? Drama infantil? Temas sensíveis? What? Sério, eu senti mais imcomodo do enredo desse filme do que das próprias cenas de suspense que também pelo amor kskskks Cade o suspense ? Juro que tava tentando entrar no clima mistério, mais a direção deu pistas do que se tratava logo no começo do filme ,então.... Mais um filme com uma direção um pouco confusa no que queria abordar,o único ponto que quero exaltar é o o drama da personagem e muito intrigante mesmo, de resto é só isso !

Lavender ist ein Drama von Ed Gass-Donnelly (Regie) und das von Colin Frizzell und Ed Gass-Donnelly geschrieben wurde… Lavender ist kein Horrorfilm, sondern ein Drama in Richtung eines psychologischen Films… Es geht in der Geschichte um die verdrängten Erinnerungen… mit überraschenden Wendungen in alle Richtungen… Kurz gesagt ein durchschnittlicher Psychothriller und nicht mehr…

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Luis M. D

The premise was interesting but the execution poor. The truth appears by pure chance —no real investigation is done, no interviews, no searching through archives. All Jane has to do to recover her repressed memories is to receive mysterious gift boxes and wander through the old house. This exercise is slow and ultimately predictable, because the plot gives many early signs at what the final resolution would be.
