Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 03/03/2023
There’s not quite enough plot in “Spoonful of Sugar” to fill its running time, though the performances are so lively and director Morgan’s imagery so vivid that the picture is never dull. Go to Full Review Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands 07/03/2024
2.5/5
While there’s certainly plenty to like and admire about Morgan’s latest, it unfortunately suffers from a lack of vision. The storylines act like mangled roots, each suffocating the others. Go to Full Review John Townsend Starburst 04/13/2023
Although Morgan does a decent job creating an atmosphere of stifling malcontent, you never feel fully immersed in the story. In the end, it’s mostly just unpleasant characters doing unpleasant things to each other. Go to Full Review Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective 03/11/2023
Things steadily ramp up, and Spoonful of Sugar is more than able to shock; it’s a film peppered with fetid rabbits, after all. That’s got to be some kind of sign. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 03/03/2023
It’s an interesting, accomplished attempt at something… I just couldn’t tell you what. Go to Full Review Jon Mendelsohn CBR 03/03/2023
Spoonful of Sugar succeeds at being an unnerving thriller, while also providing laughs and hypnotic psychedelic sequences. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Courtney K @c0urtn3y Nov 2 yeah; this story kind of starts out as one thing & then sort of turns into another... overall, i liked it. See more Stephen G. @patient1 Oct 22 First impressions have never been so wrong before, and these characters are so much more developed than I originally saw then, or how they were portrayed. This is kinda twisted in ways I didn't see coming, I think it's gonna get scary crazy. The experimental LSD journeys are interesting to see from a bystanders viewpoint. Such an evil spin has been put on our main character, so much trauma packed into such a fraile appearance. I'm excited about this new personality she is showing, complete and kinda terrifying. Such a mind-blowing experience... See more Tyler B Apr 18 A strong attempt to mold sympathy for the schizophrenic but unworthy of anything meaningful. See more Zachary A 08/19/2024 This is a weird ass movie. If you’re not a horror fan then this definitely isn’t for you. Even if you are a horror fan, idk if I can recommend this one. It’s kind of boring, I might have enjoyed it more if I was high. The best part of this movie is the lead, bc she did a very good job at being crazy. The movie is also visually pleasing. See more Elise S 04/18/2024 Very disturbing and great plot twist See more Thirdi A 04/04/2024 such a fun thriller. checked all my boxes, psychotic mental health melt downs, drug use, sex, and killing!
