hypnotically eerie science-fiction drama; Something about Hausner's picture held me, with its narcotic pacing, its smiling, zombified performances and its intensely, almost radioactively bright digital sheen
creepy for how mundanely un creepy it plays its scenario, "Little Joe" is an existential horror movie about our inability to understand our own complicated emotions, and the allure of relenting to a kind of thoughtless, unburdened happiness
an artfully unnerving, austerely hypnotic horror movie; Jessica Hausner works in a shivery and deliberate modernist spook-show style, one that calls up echoes of early David Cronenberg and the Stanley Kubrick of "The Shining"
a lifeless, tone-deaf variation on Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Little Joe rots on its own vine; There's just nothing going on here with which to engage your interest, nor is there a single moment to even slightly increase the viewer's pulse rate
