“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.”

“…part exploitation piece, part morality tale.”

“…a twilight film in more ways than one.”

“…stays true to the sadness of its central premise.”

“…like watching a friend drown, and being unable to help.”
