Bloody Disgusting

It’s not just the complexities of its characters that are compelling, but Rosman’s ability to drop narrative bombs that cataclysmically alter the genre and narrative direction.

Rated: 3.5/5

As the film's initial scope of Jessie and Elsa continues to zoom out, we suddenly all know the traumatic horror of "New Life" all too well. And we feel for our hero to a depth that action-thrillers have never known. What a delight, what a discovery.

A satisfying, adrenaline-pumping journey of two women not knowing where their paths will take them, New Life provides edge-of-the-seat thrills with an emotionally intelligent twist.

The tricky and rewarding stretch where it dangles hope and horror in front of you makes it worth watching.

New Life might begin as a humble spy thriller, before evolving into something much more unusual and thought-provoking, but there is much to love here.
