Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful It’s meditative, bleak, and often punishing. But it’s also a gorgeously realized, thematically rich exploration of trauma, grief, and survival. For the arthouse crowd willing to engage with its patience-testing rhythms, it’s an unforgettable experience. Rated: 4/5 Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Sarah Gopaul That Shelf Whitetail is a slow burn that could be tighter. But the overall drama is taut, and Natasha O’Keeffe commits to her intense performance. Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? A Geek Community With the scenery as much of a character as Natasha O’Keeffe’s Jen, Whitetail requires some patience as Jen wades through internal choppy waters. Rated: 6.5/10 Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Megan Loucks InSession Film Long after the final scene ends, Whitetail lingers. The unease established by O’Keeffe’s raw performance and Leopold’s observant script isn’t easily shaken. Rated: A+ Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Rachel West AWFJ.org Nanouk Leopold’s tale is one of tragedy, redemption, and reckoning. It is a slow-simmering suspense in which tragedy threatens to overwhelm at every step. Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail The final images of the film remain muted in their palette—history never goes away, though it can recede from our mind—even if still immersed in the wonders of nature. It’s a fitting resolution to this quiet, restrained gem of a movie. Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
