Mr. K, a traveling magician, finds himself in a Kafkaesque nightmare when he can’t find the exit of the hotel, he has slept in. His attempts to get out only pull him deeper, entangling him further with the hotel and its curious inhabitants.

Marya E. Gates

Succeeds as both an homage to Kafka’s fascination with the absurdity of life, and especially with the socio-bureaucratic systems we humans have wrought upon ourselves, and as a sumptuous and surreal feast for the eyes.

The fun of watching "Mr. K" is seeing the ways form and theme work in tandem together.

Collider

The end result is a film that truly feels like it has something to say and goes about saying it in the strangest way possible.

Rated: 7/10

Movie Madness Podcast

While the name is a dead giveaway, the rest of the film and its influences are deployed with visual panache through its production design and Crispin Glover gives one of his most engaging and on-point performances.

Rated: 3/4

More than anything, it’s clear that Schwab has a vision for such an odd film; and it shows!

The Movie Buff

Schwab manages to pay proper homage to Kafka’s themes of alienation and bureaucratic absurdity... And by casting Crispin Glover in a role that he’s born to play, who am I to complain?
