Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A film peculiar beyond all understanding, based on a premise that begs belief.

rotten:
The movie contains some of the same elements that made [Dogtooth] so startling but they tend to float around rather than coalesce into a singular perspective.

fresh:
The film takes some deciphering, but once a viewer cracks its code "Alps" opens up into something expansive and rich.

fresh:
An hour and a half of darkening absurdism.

fresh:
The reality it takes place in is heightened just enough to make the concept feel ironic, but then all attempt at genuine sentiment subsequently falls flat.
