Ignatius and Psinakis’s alert visuals and bruised mood help maintain a crisp mythic footprint. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
The movie’s surprising technical aspects eclipse a vague and undercooked tale of folk horror, childhood abandonment and formative trauma, but by focusing on its look and sound, this movie is more effective. Go to Full Review
