A respectful and impactful dramatic interpretation that feels true to the real-life events.

There’s something lackluster and even obligatory about “Merv”.

Talk about a toothless waste of time.

It’s an assured tale of queer resistance, blended with the supernatural rhythms of the folktale.

This is a hypnotic, invigorating film.

A spectacle as much as it is a love story and a rallying cry. 

This is a tremendous visceral experience, with radiant colors, slate-somber black-and-white, and geysers of crimson blood.

Hall and Gandersman reveal the limitations of so many “Blair Witch” pretenders through their ambition and unpredictability.

Stewart’s approach reflects not only her passion for the often complex material but her understanding of it.

The film does not posit excuses for violence, and neither should we, but instead it prompts reflections on where compassion and control are needed, and where the pursuit of them falters.
