Embrace of the Serpent Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this bifurcated narrative delivers a fairly comprehensive critique of the destruction of indigenous cultures at the hands of white invaders

  by Justin Chang [Variety ]

• the film is beautiful and ferocious, calm and torrential, a plunge into the ol' heart of darkness and then some organ darker still

  by Alan Scherstuhl [Village Voice ]

• Embrace Of The Serpent is ultimately an academic exercise, full of stand-ins and signifiers-a kind of Velvet Goldmine for the destructive impact of the South American rubber trade, minus the sense of decadent fun

  Review rate : B- by Ignatiy Vishnevetsky [A.V. Club ]

• a visually mesmerizing exploration of man, nature and the destructive powers of colonialism

  by Jordan Mintzer [Hollywood Reporter ]

• a truly original experience for the mind and the soul

  Review rate : A- by Chris Nashawaty [Entertainment Weekly ]
