Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Andrew Desmond's feature-length narrative debut The Sonata is a literate, methodically paced throwback thriller that plays a little like a Hammer production from the mid-to-late 1960s. Rated: 3/4 Jan 11, 2020 Full Review Rex Reed Observer Ignoring the fact that nothing much is going on here, director Andrew Desmond plods along trying to make you believe otherwise. Rated: 1/4 Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety A thriller that, despite decent moment-to-moment pacing, drags out its anticipatory finger-twiddling far too long. Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Cody Dericks Next Best Picture A creepy atmosphere and wonderful score can’t completely make up for the unrealized potential of the film’s concept. Rated: 4/10 Jul 5, 2022 Full Review Dax Ebaben Bloody Disgusting [The Sonata] is a truly immersive film which takes on the look and feel of classic ghost tales. Rated: 3/5 Aug 31, 2021 Full Review Alix Turner Filmotomy Many elements of The Sonata are familiar, but don't let that put you off. The sum of its parts is very worthwhile, beautiful, atmospheric and precise. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 4, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Luke S This movie came out of... nowhere! It REALLY enjoyed this. The use of the music in particular got the horror elements near perfect! Actress is very good too. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/23 Full Review steve d Clever and atmospheric. A surprisingly fun suspense film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Filme bastante interessante, com uma atmosfera misteriosa e intrigante. Gostei da junção do horror com a música clássica. Embora não seja memorável, merece ser visto. (Por isso a nota 5) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This was weird in a way I enjoyed but the ending felt rushed and like they didn't really know how to wrap things up. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member VERY GOOD, REAL. A LIFE DRAMA,. ACTING IS PERFECT, STORY IMPECABLE. PERFECT DIRECCION, QHAT ELSE CAN YOU ASK FROM A FILM?
