John W @RT74120243 Aug 7 Very weird, well acted, a wonderful sense of unease. Loved it. See more Jeremy P @RT42954447 Aug 7 I'm surprised this film only got a 40% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. There's definitely room for improvement and further fleshing out of the story, but it's not a bad movie. I actually enjoyed it. Give it a watch some rainy afternoon. See more Dakota P @DaCinephile Aug 3 Is the feeling of being trapped while watching Vivarium an incredible artistic decision or a lack of development? The cinematography is excellent. The performances, especially by Poots, are on point.  I just can’t help but feeling that the movie could have been a 30-minute YouTube short.  Maybe that was intentional, to have a similar anxiousness creep up while watching that mirrored the main characters living in monotony, but regardless it left me wanting something more fulfilling.  I don’t need plot hand-holding or a spelled out resolution but I do hope for progression, but if there was an artistic choice to push the viewer into the cold and endless suburban invariance, it could have been done more successfully.

First time we've sat down for an entire movie in one sitting in years. Definitely a predecessor to all the Backrooms nonsense. Distractions: Eisenberg sucks as always, ambient score overpowers the scenery too often, no blood at all. See more Blade R @BladeRene Jul 30 Vivarium is a visually striking and unsettling film that creates a strong sense of isolation and existential dread. Its central concept is compelling, and the artificial suburban setting remains disturbing throughout. While I appreciated its atmosphere and execution, the story becomes fairly predictable once its premise is established. It succeeds in maintaining its oppressive mood, but it doesn't evolve enough to leave a deeper emotional impact, making it a good film rather than a great one. See more Jennifer H @purplepeople19 Jul 23 The acting was superb, especially by Winslet. I found the plot fascinating but troublesome, especially the part about the child. Overall, I loved it and have watched it a few times. See more Read all reviews
