      Critics Consensus

      Deftly directed and powerfully acted, When It Melts is a worthy watch, but one whose steady march to a horrific conclusion makes it difficult to recommend.

      Jessica Kiang Variety As the story pivots back and forth between its two timelines, as though hoping one will hold the key to the other’s release, it grows oppressive, as hard to witness as a cornered bird battering itself helplessly against one window, then the next. Feb 3, 2023 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com A film that makes it very clear early on that you're going to watch something horrific in the final act, and yet it doesn't make it clear why you should stick around to do so. Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine When It Melts is a film that lives and dies on the games that it plays with audiences. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 22, 2023 Full Review Roger Salvans Fotogramas ... As simple as it is effective: an exercise on fatality that manages to leave an imprint that's as bitter as it's addictive. [Full review in Spanish] Feb 9, 2024 Full Review Santiago Alverú Cinemanía (Spain) A story full of regrets and without any type of redemption. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily The strength of Baetens’ film is that it really lands, and that anyone who sees it will be hard pressed to forget it. Which, to put things in a cryptic way, is what its determined heroine is aiming for. Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
