The mesmerising, rustic and sometimes darkly comic You Won’t Be Alone impressively deals in both grotesque gore and Malickian philosophical grandeur.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 13, 2024

I LOVED moments of this I cherished others But I felt nothing while watching it emotionally An excellent concept that became a bit Repetitive as it went on with its runtime.

| Jul 25, 2023

The ending is not as strong as one might want it to be, yet I feel that the rest of the picture has enough interesting ideas and horrific beauty to warrant multiple viewings to capture its plentiful metaphors.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 21, 2023

Despite moments of horror and gore, writer and director Goran Stolevsk is far more interested in exploring humanity through the mystical creatures who live on its periphery than in terrifying audiences with superstitions and folklore.

| Original Score: B | Feb 18, 2023

You Won’t Be Alone is so unique in the field of horror films about witchcraft and misogyny because the story is ultimately about the power already within women without the need for any supernatural powers.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 18, 2022

An incredibly confident debut feature from Stolevski who crafts a grim fable and a profound tale of the human experience.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 2, 2022

It presents a radically different cinematic language, childlike, initially amoral, lyrical.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 21, 2022

Goran Stolevski’s audacious feature debut mixes naturalistic lyricism with folk horror to create a beast which is difficult to tie down

| Oct 20, 2022

You Won’t Be Alone is not a film for a general horror audience. It’s arty with a capital A and doesn’t let you forget it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 17, 2022

An unforgettable, mesmerising and thoughtful gothic horror... to say that it is bewitching is obvious, too, but also accurate.

| Oct 16, 2022

A confident, original offering, this will reward patient viewers who are not put off by the evident though far-from-gratuitous gore.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 13, 2022

Aims to be an intimate experience, but the sinuous story has a slow rhythm that never shines and becomes quite the patience test, its meditative gaze never going anywhere... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 10, 2022

If revered Terrence Malick turned his hand to making a horror movie for indie darlings A24, it might look a lot like You Won’t Be Alone

| Sep 29, 2022

... Displays a maturity in approach that hearkens a major talent and a director [Goran Stolevski] to watch.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 28, 2022

I’m sorry to be so down on this film because it’s undeniably original and in a way daring in that it doesn’t follow the usual path of movies about witches and shape shifting.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 23, 2022

The dark art of film-maker Goran Stolevski’s trance-like debut lies in its evocation of longing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 23, 2022

An ambitious, sometimes powerful, often murkily pretentious first feature from Australian writer-director Goran Stolevski, shot in the mountains of Serbia with an international cast.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2022

Stolevski has created a superior brand of horror film that poses lots of imponderable questions about the relationships between mothers and daughters, men and women, humans and animals.

| Sep 22, 2022

A shockingly great horror movie that cleverly differentiates itself from umpteen other productions involving witches and forests visited by the damned.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 21, 2022

Despite a narrative that’s often bleak, it finds room for pockets of wry humor and even flashes of beauty—and in that way, it’s a lot like the thing it’s most fascinated with throughout: human life itself.
