Siberia Reviews

I struggled to understand what was going on, I was struggling to find a reason to care about the character or any of the dreams that he was in, and I was struggling to make it completely through the short runtime.

| Original Score: D | Feb 29, 2024

In the course of his travels, Clint begins to grasp the frailty of the form and the vulnerability of the vessel.

| Nov 9, 2023

Ferrara throws everything at Siberia, turning it into a playground for emotive relation. But it is Dafoe, his muse, who so thoroughly brings the audience along with the randomness…

The film requires us to step outside of a rational mindset to enter this man's delirium... [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 18, 2023

You’ll either be engrossed or vagued nearly to death, and it seems like Ferrara and Dafoe wouldn’t want it any other way.

Ferrara takes his protagonist on a journey -- or descent -- into his perturbed mind in this sort of pessimistic take on Inside Out (2015). [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 15, 2023

Siberia expresses a filmmaker’s unique vision. One ultimately perhaps too unique to allow audiences to embrace it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 12, 2022

At times, it looks like a very severe version of Fellini or Jodorowsky.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 23, 2021

An alternately nightmarish and transcendent journey through the subconscious.

| Aug 3, 2021

An irritating, self-indulgent, incoherent bore ... It's one of those garbage movies that's pretentious and lacking in self-awareness of how bad it is. The only reason why people might praise this movie is because there are famous names involved.

| Jul 25, 2021

Another Willem Dafoe tour-de-force which takes its inspiration from Carl Jung's 'The Red Book.' A film of psychological and spiritual dimensions about the mystery of existence. (Lionsgate blu-ray review).

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 19, 2021

Siberia represents yet another bold new frontier.

| Jul 12, 2021

Siberia is all interior, and the state of Clint (Dafoe) is unclear, the linear trajectory of his life fuzzy beyond recognition.

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

It's a gorgeously assembled existential odyssey that's alternately funny, horrific and unnervingly thoughtful.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 24, 2021

It's futile attempting to pluck meaning from the moving painting this film wishes to be. It's best enjoyed by zoning out and humming along.

| Jun 22, 2021

Ferrara and Dafoe are making cinema in a world that wants to watch television.

| Jun 22, 2021

Dafoe, a close collaborator with Ferrara, brings the intensity and nakedness (not just physical) necessary for the film's trip.

| Jun 22, 2021

One of Siberia's distinctions is that it's a massive departure that eschews genre in every manner of the word, yet it is still embossed with Ferrera's temperament and artistic fortitude.

| Jun 22, 2021

Sure to alienate casual viewers, this challenging, searching, strange odyssey may ensnare those who know their psychology or are more than passingly familiar with the work of director Abel Ferrara.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 18, 2021

... yields moments both provocative and profound, although it's mostly a muddled compilation of self-reflexive imagery that becomes more tedious than thrilling.
