Aaron D

Twists and turns, some mild disturbing moments, and interesting character relationships that ended in satisfying ways. Give it a watch if you like manipulative, dark sides of human nature in a believable world.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This movie was just as pointless as it was boring. Find something else to watch.

Subterranean B

Due violoncelliste di fama mondiale approfittano di un concerto in Cina per fare una vacanza assieme. Il viaggio si rivela tortuoso ed impegnativo e ci riporterà a suon di colpi di scena dove tutto è iniziato, nell'accademia di musica che le ha fatte conoscere. Ottimo thriller!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

super happy to finally see justice and not always being "the bigger person" and calling the police. Female rage is real, justified/ It's corrective action. 6 stars!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Variety

Entertaining in a way that's at once showy and rather clinical.

This movie is insane and I totally dug it. I almost don't want to talk about it... Just go see it and trust me on this.

Unfortunately, despite the acting and the twisting and bending of genres from horror to revenge fantasy-The Perfection begins to crumble during the third part... using sexual violence as a crutch ruined it.

The Pink Lens

Allison Williams makes for a strong lead, but with weak support, a flimsy story and messy timeline, there's not much going for this straight-to-Netflix release.

Rated: 2/5

Howard Gorman

NME (New Musical Express)

This film really couldn't be any more poignant and relevant if it tried, focusing on our obsession with being perfect and giving in to internal and external pressures.
