2.5/5

It runs a little overlong and rushes through important character beats, but Strien does succeed in creating a high concept thriller that doesn't quite go where you'd expect.

3/5

A third-act plot twist is audacious enough to regain our attention, but Reuten and Wolf don't quite have the charisma necessary to fully carry it off.

3/5

It's a little long at nearly two hours and gets tangled up in its own philosophical musings at times.

5/10

“Marionette” takes quite a long time to do anything ingenious, but once it gets there, I was impressed with the unexpected turns the story took. If horror cliches make you feel safe and comforted, it’s worth your time.

A refreshing addition to the "creepy kid" sub-genre. Atmospheric with high tension, the movie is not just content with jump scares and shadowy figures.

3.5/5

A late movie twist subverts some of what came before, but before it disappears down its philosophical rabbit hole, Marionette is an enjoyable Hitchcockian story.
