The Perfumier is such an oddball of a movie that is interesting but also extremely slow. Go to Full Review Marshall Shaffer Decider 10/05/2022
A misguided muddle of genres that never manages to make its central sensation of smell feel real and urgent. Maybe they should try scratch-and-sniff cards next time Go to Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media 09/28/2022

This exercise in steampunk verité is not for everyone, obviously, but it might be entertaining for those whose tastes lean toward the morbid and brooding. Go to Full Review Lori C. Ready Steady Cut 09/22/2022

Daniel G 02/19/2023 It's a murder classic that's had other adaptations, but I've neither read the book, nor watched previous visions. This one was languid and was more of a strange love-hate story than a crime thriller. Though only touched upon, the issue of runaway youngsters in Germany could have been more central to the story. It was a slow movie, but with impactful imagery and a strong, dedicated cast. However, the voice-over was a bit tiring - the main protagonist being all-knowing. Although, she wasn't much of a cop.
