A fascinating experience of cinematic dysphasia.

Retrospekt is a challenging film that refuses to take the easy way out...and its adamant rejection of cliché and stereotype in favour of exploring contradictions and complexities make it challenging yet important viewing experience

Retrospekt is a puzzling proposition.

Interesting, but lacking the sort of payoff it's purposefully frustrating structure would seem to promise.

Rated: 2.5/5

An ambitious misfire...

Cinema Scope

As a study in trauma, Retrospekt is unfortunately shallow, leaning too hard into its narrative conceit to carry the film to its predictable conclusion.

This is such an amazing film. The director took a dramatic story and made it into a thriller. The style is fresh and the perspective is a unique spin on the domestic abuse story that has been told many times. The performances are really incredible. This art-house film also has the capacity to keep you at the edge of your seat -- so it's a rare find indeed.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
