depiction of a family whose members are trying to fit into expectations that are just not meant for them, seen through the eyes of a hypersensitive child attempting to process her family’s place in the world.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 15, 2024

While the film begins with a promising premise, the sentiments are muddied with overindulgence in the supernatural; the director immerses the audience in Vicky’s potions and dilutes a well-constructed plot.

Although the film’s many threads don’t always cohere, the stunning cinematography by Paul Guilhaume (who also co-wrote the script) at least gives the film a distinct visual flare.

There is debate over whether or not these aspects all blend together, but the film’s best scenes certainly outweigh any weaker ones. It is well worth watching to decide for yourself.

Mysterious and perched just on the right side of enigma, we are left to delicately assemble the shards of this story ourselves. Not a film for the impatient or passive, it feels like Perfume meets Raw, played out viciously beneath rain-heavy clouds.

This time-travel drama is intriguing but a little repetitive and predictable. The cast members give interesting performances that strengthen the uneven script. Some viewers will be offended by how the movie glorifies a selfish and unfaithful character.

Low on scares, The Five Devils is rich with intrigue.
