Guy Lodge Variety Matching the lightning-in-a-bottle domestic success of “Bait” might be a tall order, though either way, the film seals its one-man-band creator as a distinctive, now eminently recognizable arthouse voice. Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast A dreamy tale of loss and grief, death and resurrection, as well as a supernatural reverie about the mysterious relationship between the present and past—one in which the living are reborn as ghosts. Aug 31, 2025 Full Review Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter Although Jenkin’s style of focusing on images rather than story is lessened, it is still prominent -- and sometimes an awkward fit with the narrative... But the style itself is impressive. Aug 31, 2025 Full Review Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews Mark Jenkin’s Rose of Nevada is a hypnotic, haunting film that bends genre and storytelling conventions to remind us of our fundamental human needs. Rated: 5/5 Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Yasmine Kandil AwardsWatch Jenkin resists convention in both storytelling and craft, refusing easy answers, what lingers by the end is not its oddities but its humanity. Rated: A- Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Leonardo Goi The Film Stage In many ways a summation of Jenkin’s preoccupations with the disappearance of Cornwall’s traditional lifestyles and the extent to which local communities can withstand the loss.
