Jonathan Romney Screen International Feb 19
It’s also lusciously styled -- there are few directors as creative with colour as Aïnouz. But it’s a bloodless affair, its shock tactics utterly mechanical. Go to Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Feb 19
Rosebush Pruning tries to be about something while pretending not to be about anything at all; it’s somehow both too stupid and too cool for the room. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Feb 17
2/5
I have to admit to finding it heavy-handed and clumsy more often than not, although there are some good performances, notably from Jamie Bell and Elle Fanning. Go to Full Review Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa 2d
The film is more distanced from the viewer than Bellocchio’s quieter original, but even such ramped-up artificiality and absurdity are much less transgressive in 2026. Go to Full Review James Mottram Radio Times Apr 9
2/5
With Pamela Anderson popping up in a cameo, at least the cast adds some louche glamour to an otherwise drab and sometimes distasteful affair. Go to Full Review Nataliia Serebriakova FILMINK (Australia) Mar 2
10/20
… spectacle without substance: a film that gestures toward scandal and intensity but offers little emotional resonance or intellectual insight in return. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
