Peter Bradshaw Guardian A lot of the comedy and absurdism of the film’s starting point gets lost. Well, it could be that the whole point of the film isn’t that Marielle’s powers are special, but that they are universal -- or almost. Rated: 3/5 Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter What Marielle Knows is basically a high-concept social experiment designed to prove how our private lives are probably best kept private. It’s not a groundbreaking idea, but the film uses its clever conceit to remind us how important that is. Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety Often comical and sometimes scary, the concept should travel well beyond Germany, even if Hambalek hasn’t ironed out all the kinks. Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Lee Marshall Screen International The rise of parental surveillance is turned on its head in this stylish, thought-provoking German comedy which runs engagingly with its high-concept premise without once lowering the bar. Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Stephen Dalton The Film Verdict A telepathic schoolgirl reluctantly discovers some disturbing family secrets in German writer-director Frédéric Hambalek's sharp-witted satirical comedy. Rated: 3/4 Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
