A fable about the ruins of the old myth of Europe with a powerful images and sounds. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 30, 2022

A fitting metaphor for the creeping sense of unease and disconnection that seems to be prevalent throughout much of the modern world.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 5, 2022

Although at the start Undergods looked like yet another dystopian picture, it was presented in such an interesting style and with strangely engaging characters that it wasn't "yet another" anything.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 21, 2021

Recalls Monty Python or even the films of Roy Andersson...If it all winds up feeling a bit pat, a little too satisfied with itself, it's still a wild journey.

Undergods is not a light watch, although it is done with humour; nor will it be to everyone's taste. But if thought-provoking dystopian treatises on society float your boat, you will be a happy sailor.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 29, 2021

None of it fully gels, and neither do any of the baroque personas onscreen ever register any depth of character...

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 17, 2021

Undergods has plenty of style, but not much substance. While this anthology of stories takes place in a well-shot, visually rich world, its characters rarely talk or behave in believable ways.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 17, 2021

The subtext may not be subtle, but what Moya's film lacks in nuance it makes up for in terms of ambition.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 17, 2021

What it all means is up for debate... but it nonetheless feels sharply relevant.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 14, 2021

As a whole piece, Undergods is something of a Marmite movie. It'll work for some, but not for others.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 13, 2021

You have to work your way through it, but if you allow it to overwhelm you, it's really quite striking.

| May 13, 2021

A riptide of surrealism runs through Chino Moya's ambitious debut feature, a fantasy suite of tales that don't so much interlock as butt into one another and blurt out alarming, dreamlike correspondences.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 11, 2021

[P]oignant, hypnotic sci-fi that examines the raw nerves of the human condition while the world falls apart.

| May 10, 2021

Coming at the same themes from different angles, the three lessons serve to upend the comfort and perceived control that fathers, husbands and first-world patriarchs have traditionally enjoyed.

| May 10, 2021

Extremely distinctive, adventurous, moody, bleak, very dark and worth-all-the-effort dystopian tale that feels like a movie of the moment.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 8, 2021

A bold, bleak apocalyptic drama filled with loathsome characters...

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 8, 2021

Undergods impresses as a stylish arrival, but what's under the surface needs finessing.

| Original Score: 5.9/10 | May 7, 2021

Undergods is visually atmospheric, its mood heightened by a Tangerine Dream-like synth score from Wojciech Golczewski. But it's also rather dull and random, with stories that do not go anywhere...

| May 7, 2021

Look past the uneven narrative and you'll find a new cinematic voice with something to prove, and the formal prowess to back it up.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 6, 2021

In this head-turner of a debut, Chino Moya plunges us into dystopia's darkest underbelly for a collection of terror tales that are often tied to the seven deadly sins.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 6, 2021
