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 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 Brent Hankins The Lamplight Review Feb 26
2/10
[This] might have been the most excruciating ninety minutes I’ve ever spent in a theater... there’s nothing beneath the surface: the shock is the point. [It] mistakes being unwatchable for being brave. Go to Full Review Violeta Kovacsics Otroscines.com Feb 23
1.5/5
The tone [of the film] is one of constant emphasis, over-explanation, and provocation without substance. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
