Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter 02/07/2024
With only three shorts to her credit, writer-director Stefánsdóttir has made an impressive first feature, assembling a superb cast and a strong roster behind the camera. Go to Full Review Joshua Polanski D Movies 07/03/2024
3/5
There is a softness to the creepy images. It’s as if they caress you before incising into more disturbing terrain and carving a place into your memory along the way. Go to Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots 04/17/2024
While the films succeeds in creating a sense of atmospheric dread, it ultimately falls short in providing clear motivations for the actions of some of the characters. I found the obtuse nature of the storytelling to be frustrating, yet still interesting. Go to Full Review Sharai Bohannon Horror Movie Blog 04/01/2024
Helena Stefansdottir’s understanding of space and ability to craft cool pictures will benefit a stronger script. Hopefully, a horror script with more bite and less empty vibes. I am excited to see her next outing as a director though. Go to Full Review Robert W. Monk Flickering Myth 03/26/2024
An elegant puzzlebox of a picture, showing how people can be so close and yet so far away in almost every sphere of their lives Go to Full Review Jessica Scott We Who Walk Here 03/19/2024
With a stronger script, Natatorium would be an outstanding horror debut, but its visual depths can’t quite compensate for its ultimate shallowness. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
