Nerdly

A strikingly directed and superbly acted creature feature that's simultaneously charming, creepy and achingly sad.

Rated: 4/5

A well thought-out sombre sophomore feature, The Siren may on the surface be a simplistic tale of love, but it hides a wealth of danger and pathos underneath. A dark fairy-tale love story that will melt your heart.

Rated: 4/5

SciFiNow

As these lost souls drink in their Otherness, risking everything as they meet halfway on the shoreline of desire, they are enacting the transcendent spirit of romance itself, with all its capacities for passion, self-sacrifice and transformation

Eye for Film

Although it doesn't quite succeed in achieving its aims, this film deserves praise both for its ambition and for having the guts to do things differently, finding its own pace and its own voice.

Rated: 3/5

I hate artsy-fartsy movies just like this. The only way I could get through this slow movie is to fast forward. Now that I've seen it, the only gay part lasted about 3 to 5 minutes (a cheat) to call this movie gay and homosexual. I did not like this movie at all.

Basically every character makes choices that I just cannot register, which takes me out of The Siren. But it still manages to do a lot with so little.

Beautiful, sad and tense at the same time. It reminded me of The Shape of Water. Great performances from relative unknowns.
