    Staggeringly powerful. The absolute horror of disappearing people under cruel regimes, handled with stoic grace and determination. These sorts of films feel a lot closer than they used to.

    Existing in an unreal bubble of surrealness, the film managed to be poignant, insightful and funny. Really charming..

    Slow and deliberate, very playful and some superb subtle humour mixed with the full on horror aspects really worked for me. Good to go in cold, and several times thought it was going to become something completely different but held together and set up the story progressions.

    Mia Goth is stealthily becoming a horror high mark.

    Such a well observed character study, I've known people so like the Kieran Culkin character, the attraction, jealousy and fear invoke. Mixed with the weight of history, trauma and legacy made this very affecting.
