Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter 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. Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Joshua Polanski D Movies 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. Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots 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. Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Sharai Bohannon Horror Movie Blog 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. Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Robert W. Monk Flickering Myth 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 Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Jessica Scott We Who Walk Here With a stronger script, Natatorium would be an outstanding horror debut, but its visual depths can’t quite compensate for its ultimate shallowness.
