Steve Pond TheWrap Went Up the Hill is passionate and dark but also stubbornly elusive and illusive; it may get its title from a plainspoken nursery rhyme, but this is a movie that takes place in the shadows, both visually and narratively. Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Drew Gregory Autostraddle There are moments in this film that are genuinely terrifying — the story oscillating between quiet drama and horror. Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter Went Up a Hill is, after all, a ghost story, but one shaped in a fresh and artful way by a director who, in his second film, already has the control of a master. Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Went Up The Hill is supernatural weirdness personified and never really allows for a satisfying conclusion, but the two leads keep us enthralled throughout. Rated: B Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Carmen Paddock The Skinny Montgomery and Krieps, delivering a two-hander for most of the runtime, are excellently matched and find understated ways of conveying both their own characters’ disquiet and the other personality that invades. Rated: 3/5 Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews More strange than scary. Rated: B Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
