“The movie’s morality lies in its form.”

“…a provocatively toxic time capsule for an era of misguided rage.”

“A predictable narrative is given rich contours…”

“…zooms further in the more it zooms out.”

“A subdued take on the superhero film…”

“…a costume-drama farce full of overly heated performances set against a macabre, nightmarish production design.”

“…manages two stellar sequences that are raw and truthful enough to salvage the movie.”

“…a career in a close-up.”

“Dietrich gives a grand performance that’s gradually diluted by the narrative.”

“…works best as a ghost story.”
