Critics Consensus

A lifeless divorce drama cosplaying as a horror film, Separation is a disjointed mess that fails to escape its formulaic trappings.

Audience Says

After raising expectations with a decent setup, Separation tests the patience with its slow story and a frustrating lack of scares.

There are no believable characters, no rising tension, and no scares in this Insidious meets Kramer vs. Kramer.

Rated: 0/4

Nick Schager

Variety

[A] dull and misogynistic affair that imagines multiple types of women as malevolent fiends who terrorize supposedly sympathetic men.

Meagan Navarro

Bloody Disgusting

Despite an imaginative setup, Separation can't divorce itself from a lack of scares, tension, and underbaked storytelling that prevents emotional resonance.

Rated: 1.5/5

Next Best Picture

The characters are flat, the themes shallow, and the emotional catharsis is stilted in every scene.

Rated: 4/10

The only separation that exists here is the vast one between good and bad filmmaking, and Separation falls decidedly on the side of the latter.

The movie over all was good. But the pacing was off from the half way mark to the end.

First half? A building dread, sort of a Man makes monster, nature of monster to destroy creator vibe. The later half? Definitely more of a murder mystery vibe.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
