As a mysterious pandemic emerges, a squabbling couple in lockdown begin to act like children.

Sarah Vincent

InBetweenDrafts

New Strains is Sleeping with the Enemy meets The Stepford Wives without the technology, obvious abuse, or movie stars. Instead of a fastidious neat freak, the husband is a performative health protocol zealot.

Rated: 5.5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

As an art piece, or perhaps a time capsule, the project succeeds. As a film, it barely rises to the occasion.

Rated: 6/10

The Film Verdict

Artemis Shaw and Prashanth Kamalakanthan make inventive use of vintage lo-fi video technology in this slight but charming pandemic rom-com

In Review Online

A tribute to Kamalakanthan and Shaw’s love, and treatise on the elastic limits of cinema. These two quite literally had a camcorder and a dream. Now they’re proud parents of one of the best films of the Covid era.

Film Freak Central

New Strains doesn't only make you take sides between the sometimes ugly coping mechanisms of Kallia and Ram--it also reopens barely-healed wounds you might still be nursing...

Rated: 3.5/4

The AU Review

Feels like a nightmarish chore to sit through, rather than something of a reflective piece for something we all collectively experienced.

Rated: 2/5
