Critics Consensus

Luz takes a refreshingly unique approach to horror possession tropes, elevated by a chilly mood and minimalist scares.

The movie knows what it's doing, whatever it's doing.

If Luz had been a play, I'd probably have walked out halfway through, but as a film I found it eerie enough to stay rooted.

A fascinatingly staged possession horror movie that plays a Brechtian game with its setting and storytelling.

7/10

From the first frame, I clearly see that it is a dark, experimental, multi-layered exercise in style, set up as a tribute to European horror cinema of the 1980s. [Full review in Spanish]

B+

Luz unfolds in a nightmare logic and pace, deliberate and methodical, never moving as expected. It feels unmoored, adrift in a singular world.

Some style over questionable substance.

Experimental, opaque, and weird, which is my jam, though it's not everyone's.

Slow and vague but intriguing and creepy enough to make it mildly interesting until it becomes a completely distorted mess without explanation.

You really have to stick with it but when I realised how it was gonna end and the what was happening and very importantly what had already happened I was excited to be right (much to the annoyance of my wife). Great storytelling, slow burning and great acting make this a unusual and surprising watch and now I'm gonna watch it again.
