Critics Consensus

Traditional horror may not be on the menu, but for fans of the gruesomely disquieting, The Feast more than lives up to its name.

Anton Bitel

Sight & Sound

...offers a feast for the eyes while accommodating more than one interpretation. For this is all at once environmental fable, anti-colonialist allegory, and Hanekean portrait of a family undone by its own errant appetites and all-consuming greed.

Observer (UK)

It avoids jump scares in favour of a long, slow build of tension – so slow that at times the characters appear to be in the grip of a kind of paralysis – that pays off with an explosively grisly final act.

Rated: 3/5

The acting is great across the board. The visuals are absolutely superb. And when the film takes its turn into more folk horror, it gets quite engaging and almost scary.

Rated: 3/5

Flick Feast

Welsh-language horror Gwledd (The Feast) doesn’t just find the grotesque in everyday items and actions – it absolutely revels in it.

Gwledd / The Feast (2021) Bizarre Welsh Tale of a Nature Goddess’ Revenge (11,814 –07 Jul 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In the countryside of Wales, the new rich politician Gwyn (Julian Lewis Jones) and his wife Glenda (Nia Roberts) prepare a dinner party for their friends Euros (Rhodri Meilir) and Mair (Lisa Palfrey). They became wealthy drilling petrol and exploring minerals in their lands with Euros. Glenda hires the local Cadi (Annes Elwy) to help her in the cater. When Gwyn hunts two rabbits for the feast, Cadi is affected. Their sons Guto (Steffan Cennydd), who is drug addicted, and Gweirydd (Sion Alun Davies), who quit the medicine school to dedicate to a triathlon, also participate on the dinner. When the guests arrive, Mair learns that they want to explore her lands, but she refuses since there is a folklore that a goddess rests in their lands. Soon the family and Euros learn the goddess’ revenge. “Gwledd”, a.k.a “The Feast” (2021), is a bizarre Welsh tale of a nature goddess’ revenge. The ecological plot is developed is a very slow pace, and very few things happen. The acting is great, but unfortunately the story is boring. The different aspect of this movie is the Welsh language spoken by the cast. Maybe Welsh people know this folklore and appreciate it more. My vote is four.

Absolute masterpiece ! Cinematography is beautiful but what I personally appreciated is the subtleness of the script, which is so rare. Acting is also very good. Bravo !

Até poderia ser alguma coisa se o roteiro tivesse alguma linha condutora. Tudo muito aleatório.

Or course we can’t expect this movie to be a classic american horror piece with every detail explained and not leave anything to imagination and analytic thinking, but it doesn’t mean that because the movie is theatrical and philosophical its a good watch, I enjoy european horror movies and admire them in many ways but this one wasn’t for me.

Warning: light spoiler ahead. It's so irritating how many idiots rate a movie poorly just because every detail isn't spelled out for them. It's literally based on the concept of Gaia inhabiting a human vessel in order to punish a toxic, destructive and hedonistic family.
