Strickland frequently tests viewers' patience, but his off-putting sensibility is powerful enough to make In Fabric as mesmerizing as its subject: salesmanship as a sinister, inescapable form of hypnosis.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 15, 2023

Its been some time since a film so purely arthouse has had a cinema release and I'm here for it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 17, 2022

…well acted, mounted and designed, and defiantly weird in a way that will leaving you talking for hours/days/months afterwards…

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 12, 2022

Through its exploration of commodification, the feature humorously satirises our obsession with endless acquisition, no matter what the cost.

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

In Fabric, with its focus around the role of consumerism in our modern world, is perhaps (Strickland's) most successful outing so far when it comes to marrying a sharp social criticism with tender remorse for the faceless victims of our society.

| Original Score: A+ | Feb 24, 2021

It literally lost the thread, not to put too annoying a pun on it.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 15, 2021

Fabulous, decadent, hypnotic, aberrant.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 4, 2021

It's a mesmerizing black comedy, made to give you the creeps.

| Original Score: B | Jan 16, 2021

One of In Fabric's great strengths is its ability to delight in the absurdity that's inherent to its premise and, simultaneously, to use it as a vehicle to explore female desire, insecurity and passion. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 12, 2021

A film with comedic depths exploring a new subject matter... what's not to love, right? Well, the structure of this film is where people are going to decide whether it's just a confusing journey or whether it's an amazing movie.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 27, 2020

In Fabric may have some missing stitches but the dress still fits perfectly.

| Sep 30, 2020

In Fabric is horrifically scary, hilariously macabre, and intelligently satirical; delivered in a visually reverential and surreal style that proves entrancing and eerie. Highly recommended.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 23, 2020

A regular, presumptuous and not terrifying film, in which the style abounds but the substance is absent. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 28, 2020

Who expected a horror movie about a red murder dress to be riotously funny and a screed about the dehumanization of the working class, fabrication of desire, the hollow pursuit of meaning through consumption, and capitalism smothering the proletariat?

| Original Score: A | Jun 26, 2020

It's as though the last 50 years never happened and Rome's Cinecittà Studios are still turning out the films that defied and then defined the psychological horror genre.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 4, 2020

What happens... reveals to us the most playful and complex-free face of a constantly evolving filmmaker. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 29, 2020

I was mesmerized.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Mar 19, 2020

This is not the film to see if you're after a sleazy good time. It's more like a game of hunt the symbol, with possible interpretations scattered so thickly it is hard to pick just one.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 11, 2020

A cautionary tale for any woman who has ever fallen for a new outfit.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 11, 2020

It's not the funniest comedy nor the scariest horror film, but is absolutely the most committed haunted-dress movie of the year. It's Peter Strickland, it's full of artistic integrity, and it's fabulous.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 7, 2020
