Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Like its protagonist, Michael is deliberate and very discreet. It shocks by suggestion, not by display.

What interests Schleinzer is putting us inside Michael's head, even though we're repelled by his activities, and his no-frills approach works.

There are no easy conclusions here - no explanations. Events unfold with a random, even black comic abandon.

Another full unfaltering performance by a child. This time it's in a horror film.
