What Remains

Critics Reviews

Leslie Felperin Guardian Given that the Skarsgårds, father and son in real life, are performing a script co-written by Huang and Stellan’s wife, Megan Everett-Skarsgård, the twisted meditation on family dysfunction comes over strong, and the cast are uniformly excellent. Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Craig D. Lindsey RogerEbert.com It seems like everyone involved with “What Remains” wanted to see how far they could go in making a murder mystery so miserablist. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Will Bjarnar Geek Vibes Nation The dismal depths to which What Remains is willing to go makes it that much more intricate a work, impressive for any feature, much more so for a debut. Rated: 6/10 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Francesca Steele iNews.co.uk Despite fine performances and a tantalising initial interest, this unremitting misery-fest feels unsatisfying. Rated: 2/5 Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages “‘What Remains’ is a low-key stylish film about human potential and the elevation of consciousness, though Huang keeps the audience trapped in a dark and uncomfortable place with his cryptic storytelling.” Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Dialog is spoken in a whisper, as people wrestle with facts that stubbornly refuse to reveal the truth. So the film is gripping but also rather sleepy. Rated: 3/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

CT 8 I’ve always been a fan of Skellan Skarsgard and I literally sat through the entire movie because of him, but it was just terrible. The movie was bleak, boring and slow on steroids. So slow in fact I dozed off briefly while watching it. Or perhaps I slipped into a coma…at this point I’m not really sure. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Sandra S This slow burning psycho drama will capture you if you give it time.The acting is fantastic and the tragedy of a "monster" at any costs surprised me for the delicate portrait of a wrencing human experience. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Audience Member Sumptuously acted, gorgeous cinematography, heavy tension, this film should have gotten more attention. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review David S The best sleep-aid of 2024! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Sam C I have a hard time feeling sorry for child murderers. That narrative turned me off from the whole movie. Good acting, though. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Audience Member Great movie slow paced but great story and good acting.
