3.5/5
“The engine room of America is a kitchen of immigrants at perpetual risk of expulsion in this frantic film that's 90 minutes of compelling, chaotic drama in a 140-minute container.” –

4/5
“Like the best Australian films it honours (Picnic at Hanging Rock, Wake in Fright, Long Weekend), this tempestuous psychodrama suggests a cosmic alienation for all Australian visitors since colonisation. You will never understand this country.” –

An Unfinished Film (2024)

4/5
“Reality and fiction collapse in on themselves for this metatextual drama about the authoritarian constraints imposed on art and life, incited by a lumbering hunk of dramatic irony: that a crew should head to Wuhan in January 2020 to finish their film.” –

“Alive with interesting ideas, and mostly successful in execution, but it leaves its most provocative theme underdeveloped: that "their" god is your devil.” –

“A taut, stressful and immersive experience, with some great, lived-in performances. And just like Civil War, it doesn't need to be didactic in its (otherwise very clear) messaging. ” –

“An absolutely fantastic political (yet nakedly personal) drama. This kind of movie comes from a sort of evergreen cinematic stock that never goes out of fashion. Walter Salles and the actors playing the Paiva family make it thrum with movement and life.” –

“Arguably, removing the fourth wall and giving us a second-person POV is the essence of all cinema, not just this haunted house flick, but there are still some novel interventions and ideas from Soderbergh here.” –
