      Diana S Reminds me of '90s thrillers, not very deep or serious, the writing basic. Interesting actors, but they're quite limited by the material. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Gary H A pretentious bunch of nonsense that is impossible to follow at the end, and therefore deeply frustrating. I have read an explanation of the ending of the movie and I didn't see those things actually happen in the story. It's a very frustrating film to watch because you end up with no idea what is supposed to have happened. Really frustrating film Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/23 Full Review Regina P I can't believe how stupid the people in this movie were!!! Total idiots! Your baby! Your baby, for crying out loud! I just can't. Both the husband and the wife are total fools. Your sense of self-preservation should extend to your child. These were pure idiots. I'm sorry; I know I should be judging the merits of the film, but the story was so stupid, I can't concentrate on any other technicalities. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie literally made you cringe and ask why would you do that. Poorly written and spoiler alert, you will hate the ending. Sinister with no redemption. The bad guys get away. Hated it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review David D Disappointing and ultra-predictable. The downstairs male actor was amateurish at best. His sudden mood changes made the movie seem strange. I suspect that was supposed to be our hint that something was amiss, but it did not work. The story's ending was known from the beginning. There is nothing new about this movie; it is a replay of old concepts. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review Keith H I've watched paint dry that had more mystery and suspense. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/07/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Noel Murray The Verge It's that plausibility factor that makes The Ones Below so effective. Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Kate Erbland indieWire The film's ultimate reveal is hardly shocking, and that the film spends a gratuitous amount time unspooling it long after it's clear what has gone down feels indulgent and unearned. Rated: C+ Jan 2, 2017 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com The Ones Below is a powerful thriller, a movie that toys with audience expectation at every turn, making it the type of debut Farr will be proud to lead off his resume with long into the foreseeable future. Rated: 3/4 Aug 9, 2016 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com A solid lead turn from French actress Clemence Poesy and a startling supporting performance from rising Finnish star Laura Birn help make the familiar discomfort of dueling feminine personas a bit more intense. Rated: 3/5 Sep 30, 2020 Full Review Tori Brazier One Room With A View There are enjoyable moments of unexpected humour (general social awkwardness) as well a nice tautness to the plot's proceedings. Ultimately, however, the film's rather predictable yet overblown ending takes the wind out of its 'serious thriller' sails. Rated: 3/5 Apr 9, 2019 Full Review Matthew Anderson CineVue Elements of pastiche aside, Farr's suspense-filled first endeavor behind the camera shows signs of genuine promise.
