Movie Reviews

  • the talents of an able cast are dismayingly wasted as Jessica Hausner's chiller fails to deliver on its premise
    2 of 5 by Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian ]
  • sounds intriguing. But slow acting, mannered sets and stylized filming make this film itself sadly affectless
    3 of 5 by David Sexton [London Evening Standard ]
  • Jessica Hausner is a great director and this is an enjoyable and interesting film
    3 of 5 by John Bleasdale [CineVue ]
  • Jessica Hausner is a brilliant director, but her arthouse riff on "The Happening" carries a potentially dangerous message
    Review rate : C+ by David Ehrlich [Indiewire ]
  • 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
    by Justin Chang [Los Angeles Times ]
  • eye-catching, botanically themed sci-fi from Jessica Hausner that keeps you guessing
    4 of 5 by Katherine McLaughlin [The List Film (UK) ]
  • 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
    Review rate : B+ by A.A. Dowd [AV Club ]
  • barring a few short-sighted misfires, "Little Joe" remains an arresting film with a novel imagination of a presently relevant issue
    Review rate : B- by Caroline Tsai [The Playlist ]
  • 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"
    by Owen Gleiberman [Variety ]
  • 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
    by Todd McCarthy [The Hollywood Reporter ]
