Between Worlds Reviews
Between Worlds may not have the surrealness or the haunting cinematography of Mandy. It's the kind of rare cinematic alchemy that no amount of planning and budget can create but happens once when all the planets align for one lucky director.

I'm sorry -- who does Nicolas Cage owe money to that he had to take this movie?

The film doesn't remain enigmatic and engaging for long. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 10, 2019
This is just straight-up awful. I weep for Franka.

There are a few moments of inspired lunacy, but for the most part, it's sluggish and tedious.

A dumb, lazy and cringe-inducing mess. Cage and Potente deserve better.
| Original Score: 2.282303/10 | Dec 21, 2018
If you saw Mandy and wished more Nicolas Cage movies were dark, weird, and personal: watch Between Worlds and be careful what you wish for.
| Original Score: .5/4 | Dec 21, 2018
Cage makes four of these a year and usually two of them are good. So Between Worlds isn't one of the good ones.

Supernatural erotic thriller delivers the Full Cage experience despite its outlandish plot
| Dec 20, 2018
Writer-director Maria Pulera aims for something with the comic grotesquerie of David Lynch - full of eccentric lowlifes and identity swapping - but a more straightforward plot. What she ends up with is ultimately too tame and under-thought.

While not quite up to the outrageousness level of so many Cage vehicles in recent years, Between Worlds features enough WTF moments to satisfy the prolific actor's many fans who can't wait to see what he's up to next.

"Nothing that I can say is going to make any sense," Julie tells a confused acquaintance at one point. Please believe her.
| Dec 20, 2018
Weird but not polished, which doesn't encourage full immersion into the depths of this oddity.
| Original Score: D+ | Dec 20, 2018
The performances help establish the surreal and interesting world of the film, but overall, Between Worlds feels like wasted potential.
| Dec 16, 2018
[A] bizarro b-movie stacked to the gills with odd choices and silly moments that still somehow manages not to be terrible.
| Dec 10, 2018
There's so much to like about Between Worlds, and on paper it sounds like exactly the right movie to channel Cage's late-career mayhem, but in practice it's flat and flimsy.
| Original Score: C- | Nov 12, 2018
Nick and Franka develop an off-beat chemistry in a light duty possession noir.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 3, 2018
As someone who adores films that full-on embrace WTF-ery in their storytelling, Between Worlds delivered the weirdly demented goods and then some.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2018
Crossing between the worlds of the living and dead is a concept that could populate any number of captivating and nuanced movies, but Between Worlds is not one of them.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Sep 27, 2018
Between Worlds may not be the finest receptacle for Cage's insanity, but it does feature a sex scene in which he reads, mid-intercourse, from an erotic book titled Memories by Nicolas Cage. Make of that what you will.
