Critics Consensus

Suspiria attacks heady themes with garish vigor, offering a viewing experience that's daringly confrontational - and definitely not for everyone.

Ryan Gilbey

New Statesman

Guadagnino claims that his Suspiria is not a remake at all but a cover version. If that's the case, it can only be the equivalent of turning a three-minute glam stomp into a bloated rock opera.

Suspiria is weird, disturbing, and definitely not for everyone… but I kinda dug it.

As an interconnected tale of imperialism, emotional manipulation, and femininity, Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria is one social nightmare of a movie...dance everyone, dance...

Rated: B+

'...the punch-line of Argento’s film becomes the jumping off point for Guadagnino, but nearly two and a half hours later, not much of any value has been added to the pot…quite horrible to watch, and presumably that’s the intention…’

Rated: 2/5

Very confusing id recommended doing a little research on the characters beforehand if you aren't super familiar. I watched the 1977 version beforehand and was still pretty confused. I did some research after watching this movie and still left me with unanswered questions. It's way longer than it needs to be a lot of fluff in the beginning that isn't informative to the plot nor entertaining. Ending almost makes up for all these issues.

It does move a little slowly but it is suspenseful and grounded in the current and historical times. Eerie and worth watching if you can get through it

Just because you have nudity in a film doesn’t mean it has any meaning or depth. Super long just because there’s extended shots of skinny white girls stretching in suggestive ways. It’s like, we get it lmao. I dunno I was rolling my eyes most of the movie. Very try hard

Far more satisfying than the original, though this could've been way scarier than it is. I'd say it's more strange and disturbing than scary. Could've been trimmed down a good 30 minutes. The political stuff about 1977 Berlin didn't need to be in here. Would've been better to give it a more cloistered feel by eliminating the outside world. And on that note, we didn't need the old man character. The movie is kinda sexy in a weird way, and it might've benefited from more sexual tension. It does have Mia Goth and the actress from Fifty Shades after all.

This movie screamed "As a work of art I am so so very earth shatteringly important. Every gesture, every nuance is just so far superior and over the heads of any possible audience member who is blessed with the privilege of watching this godly enterprise unfold. As an audience you are hopelessly beneath us the film makers so don't even expect to do anything but subside into a state of awe and worship." And with that said, it needs to be mentioned that the ending is by far the silliest bunch of scenes I've ever witnessed in a film that's trying to be dead serious.
