Marya E. Gates IndieWire 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. Rated: B Sep 15, 2024 Full Review Zachary Lee RogerEbert.com The fun of watching "Mr. K" is seeing the ways form and theme work in tandem together. Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Cameron Meier MeierMovies.com I applaud your imagination, Ms. Schwab, but next time spend more time channeling Rod Serling. For while Mr. K’s dimension has plenty of sight and sound, it doesn’t have enough mind. Rated: 2/5 Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Tomas Trussow The Lonely Film Critic Where Mr. K does fall short, ultimately, is that its larger reveals don’t hold the same level of grandeur and risk as Schwab’s setup. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots This unique blend of horror, science fiction, and gothic tragedy embraces its strangeness like an abstract love triangle between Kafka, Kubrick, and Lynch. Those ready for a hallucinatory challenge are in for a treat. Nov 28, 2024 Full Review Olivia Popp Cineuropa Granted, this film doesn’t satisfy cravings for a logical adventure: Mr. K asks us to suspend constant cinematic intellectualising and simply accept that one might not understand everything (or anything) - but maybe you’re better off that way.
