Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com The Perfumier is such an oddball of a movie that is interesting but also extremely slow. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Marshall Shaffer Decider 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 Oct 5, 2022 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media 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. Rated: 2/5 Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Lori C. Ready Steady Cut The Perfumier took an intriguing concept and made it boring. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel G 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review George H An interesting idea but very poorly presented, so much so that it becomes tedious; resulting in the viewer not caring what happens in the film, you just want it to end. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/22 Full Review Read all reviews
