Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter The particular limbo of grief, perennial fertile ground for drama, receives straightforward treatment in Narcosis, but with a poetic twist. Oct 24, 2022 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily Even in the moments when Narcosis seems to be living up to its title, it always feels true. Oct 21, 2023 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Screen International Rather than present a straightforward narrative, De Jong dips in and out of the various family member’s lives as they all grapple with grief. Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Jason Delgado Film Threat Narcosis is not easy to watch, but it is essential. Rated: 8/10 Mar 7, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Simon T Superlative Dutch movie about a young family coming to terms with the sudden death of the father. Very little happens, but it's so delicately and truthfully directed and acted that it demands your attention throughout. In particular the performances of the children are wonderful - heartbreaking and often genuinely funny. It reminded me of the (very different) Spirit of the Beehive. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review bob m This was a beautiful movie with outstanding acting and really special camera work. Can't wait for its U.S. general distribution and DVD. The grief depictions were so realistic as was the slow reemergence. A must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
