Variety

Entertaining in a way that's at once showy and rather clinical.

This movie is insane and I totally dug it. I almost don't want to talk about it... Just go see it and trust me on this.

Unfortunately, despite the acting and the twisting and bending of genres from horror to revenge fantasy-The Perfection begins to crumble during the third part... using sexual violence as a crutch ruined it.

InSession Film

Maybe there's something here about the insanity of genius, but the film doesn't want to reach for anything that insightful. All it wants is to provide a few scares and let its flashy camerawork attempt to prop up a subpar story. Unfortunately, it can't.

The Pink Lens

Allison Williams makes for a strong lead, but with weak support, a flimsy story and messy timeline, there's not much going for this straight-to-Netflix release.

Rated: 2/5

Surprisingly it has strange twists and turns that looking back, don't make much sense. But entertaining and relevant it is.

Worst horror movie I’ve ever watched. The plot was all over the place and hardly stuck to one idea. Felt like f*tish and gore content rather than an actual horror movie. Too many constant fillers like the random rewinding. Could’ve been a short film as an opposed to a movie; not enough stable ideas. Overall awful and just silly. Waste of time.

God awful movie cannot recommend at all. only watch at the risk of brain damage. Terrible plot, only good thing is you can't see it's where it's going because you just can't believe its so bad.

Twists and turns, some mild disturbing moments, and interesting character relationships that ended in satisfying ways. Give it a watch if you like manipulative, dark sides of human nature in a believable world.

This movie was just as pointless as it was boring. Find something else to watch.
