Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Confidently made, Bresser’s film sometimes gets stuck in pregnant pauses that push through realism into affectation, but it’s an interesting production May 16, 2025 Full Review Catherine Bray Variety A violent crime fracturing a tight-knit community is hardly a new subject for arthouse cinema, but it is handled here by freshman writer-director Sven Bresser with an original eye and a keen sense of how to generate a persistent atmosphere of foreboding. May 16, 2025 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez InSession Film The tension and atmosphere carefully built during the first act are thrown away. These incomprehensible changes in tone taint the film’s most effective element. Rated: C May 20, 2025 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine This is the debut film by Dutch filmmaker Sven Bresser, a film shot with rigor, at a slow but measured pace, and with a clear intention of showing the place of evil without ever creating a dramatic effect. [Full review in Spanish] May 20, 2025 Full Review Nikki Baughan Screen International Bresser keeps things deliberately ambiguous but, while the film never quite tips over into horror, its confident use of genre elements, including heightened natural sound design from Kwinten Van Laethem, give it a compelling sense of foreboding. May 14, 2025 Full Review Matthew Turner Next Best Picture An intriguingly ambiguous blend of fantasy and reality that plays compelling games with audience expectations. Rated: 7/10 May 14, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
