Coherence is the last concern in The Green Fog, whose beauty is comprised in the hidden connections between the city-film tropes.

...a marvelous 2017 pastiche film...

| Feb 2, 2021

Maddin's entire film is a cinephile exercise that reconstructs a masterpiece with pieces from other films or programs. [Full Review in Spanish]

| May 8, 2020

The Green Fog is in all shapes and sizes a recollection of Maddin's love for cinema itself.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 19, 2020

A celebratory, often hilarious piece of work, that so clearly crafted out of a genuine love of film that it leaves you coming away moved.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 24, 2019

Playful, ingenious, and rightly short-but-sweet.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 6, 2019

There's no doubt that fans of Maddin's work will appreciate it more, but the spectators with a taste for experimentation will be able to approach and enjoy it. [Full review in Spanish]

Inventive, clever and amusing.

| Nov 3, 2018

The directors of The Green Fog offer a deliberately sketchy impression of Hitchcock's film; playful and expressionistic rather than strictly mimetic.

| Oct 19, 2018

Eerie, witty, and unexpectedly moving.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 19, 2018

The Johnsons' artful editing can make us laugh with its stuttering effect or marvel at a transition so smooth it defies the total mismatch of the two films it bridges.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 12, 2018

This collective tantrum is another reminder of why people go to the movies: to see others moved.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 26, 2018

As revelatory as it is silly.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 14, 2018

No one turns snippets of films into such loving, intelligent and amusing collages and homages like the experimental Canadian filmmaker.

| Apr 10, 2018

The work of a sensibility as impish as it is scholarly, animated by a mischievous sense of the medium's possibilities.

| Mar 27, 2018

A mlange of the familiar and unknown that oozes affection and artistry, the end result sweeps over cinema-loving viewers like the inescapable titular mist.

| Mar 20, 2018

If Vertigo was the story of a ghost, The Green Fog, you might say, is the ghost of a story.

| Mar 2, 2018

It demonstrates the act of creation as a perpetually reconstructive effort...

| Feb 21, 2018

The film is a brilliant exercise in meta-narrative, which raises questions galore about reality and representation, time and space, genre and gender, individual and urban identity, cinematic suture and casting. Mainly, though, it's just very, very funny.

| Feb 21, 2018

A dazzling, studious exercise in found footage excavation and reconfiguration, laced with tongue in cheek.
