I have never been so uncomfortable in a cinema and never felt it was cheap. Sat through the credits because I could not stand up.

Why this scoreExtreme reaction plus a judgement that it was earned; top band.

Jakob Lindt

19 June 2026

The sound is the film. Once I noticed what was underneath the garden scenes I could not stop hearing it, and I wanted to leave.

Why this scorePrecise account of the film's method and its effect on the viewer; strong.

Wendy Barlow

20 May 2026

I found it a hard watch for the wrong reasons. Nothing happens on purpose and I was restless rather than disturbed.

Why this scoreHonest failure to connect, with the reason described; mixed band.
