- 75The Film StageRory O'ConnorThe Film StageRory O'ConnorBrunner’s doom-metal vibe isn’t always easy on the eye, and while images in Luzifer shiver with portent as early as the opening frames–all muck, rain, and knackered-looking bodies––there is a clarity from cinematographer Peter Flinckenberg that saves it from being too sullen.
- 75The PlaylistCharles BramescoThe PlaylistCharles BramescoBrunner puts his ability to invest anything and everything with a malevolent charge to chillingly effective use.
- 70The New York TimesIsabelia HerreraThe New York TimesIsabelia HerreraIts intellectual aspiration produces an ideologically crowded film, where each philosophical meditation struggles to receive the attention and depth it deserves. Perhaps that is the point: Brunner seems to want to leave us with more questions than answers — or at least, compel us to search for the devil in everything.
- 60Film ThreatFilm ThreatIt is hard not to recommend anything starring Rogowski, an actor so unique in approach and delivery that I always relish the opportunity to see him in a major role. I wouldn’t necessarily go so far as to say that he saves Luzifer entirely, but he certainly makes it watchable.
