| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 11, 2022

| Oct 4, 2022

Despite the good performances and satisfying hypnotic settings, it falls short at the attempt with an ambiguous and confusing script [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 13, 2021

It's all too appropriate to the world in which we now live.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 5, 2021

After the first few minutes, you'll either be riveted, or looking for something else to watch. If you get on its wavelength, though, it might be the most haunting thing you've seen lately.

| Nov 5, 2021

A poetic and brutal staging. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 26, 2021

It kept me interested, leaving a slightly eerie impression at the end, but without hitting me profoundly.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 25, 2021

[A] pulpy sheen keeps Fever Dream appealing in its light grotesquerie, [but] its narrative nonetheless falls into an inertia...never able to reclaim the dizzying whirlwind of its opening sequence.

| Oct 23, 2021

Peruvian director Claudia Llosa's latest is an enigmatic puzzle about the fateful paths-crossing of two young mothers.

| Oct 22, 2021

The nonlinear structure works to the film's advantage, but at times the dank, heavy moodiness becomes postured and distractingly overwrought.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 22, 2021

Horror connoisseurs might be disappointed about the deliberate pace and reliance on erotic and psychological tension to supply the thrills, but this sneaky and surreal genre film isn't interested in textbook horror tactics.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 21, 2021

If you take the time to soak into the atmosphere, you might find yourself thinking about this film long after the end credits roll.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 20, 2021

Fever Dream is as poignant as it is scary.

| Oct 18, 2021

The chemistry between María Valverde and Dolores Fonzi is superb. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 18, 2021

The supernatural aspect of the story overshadows the bigger environmental tale of toxins and corporate corruption.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 15, 2021

'Fever Dream' is like a raincloud that threatens on an otherwise sunny day, suspended in its own airlessness to a fault.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 14, 2021

Perplexing and eventually eerie, it's another masterful narrative of women trying to break out of the rigid, even toxic offerings of their environment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2021

A dreamlike experience, from the shocking prologue with a woman being dragged across the floor, to the (almost) permanent feeling of suspense. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2021

Llosa longs to say something profound but can't get out of her own way to do so.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Oct 13, 2021
