The vibes shift from one scene to the next, sometimes markedly so, and when The Other Laurens lets its mood and aesthetics carry the way it can be the right kind of offbeat. The more serious it gets, however, the less effective it becomes.

Too slight to be intriguing, too overstretched to be absorbing, too predictable to be surprising, The Other Laurens doesn’t exactly waste its potential but does little with it.

Weaves an intriguing little family mystery filled with bits of dark comedy and weirdness — this is a Belgian movie after all — and just enough of a plot to sustain the viewer over a rather stretched two hours.

8/10

The Other Laurens, with its runtime of 117 minutes, is like a slow burning fire. Its beautiful visuals, meticulously composed and bewitching to behold, draw us further into its world.

This was very disappointing. It has thematic elements that I'm always interested in... [But] it's frankly slow moving.

Visually stylish, but convoluted and lethargic.
