Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"Abrahamson has certainly put the right kinds of performers within these decaying walls, from Will Poulter as the battle-scarred, shell-shocked man of the house to Charlotte Rampling as the forbidding matriarch..." - 08/30/2018 Hollywood Reporter
"THE LITTLE STRANGER may be elegantly fashioned as a haunted-house thriller, but the relationships at its core are spooked by sadness well before things start to go bump in the night." - 08/29/2018 Variety
3 stars out of 4 -- "With THE LITTLE STRANGER, his elegant, cold-to-the-touch blend of drama and gothic horror, the filmmaker proves his specific artistry around confinement was no coincidence." - 08/31/2018 RogerEbert.com
"[THE LITTLE STRANGER] allows Gleeson to peel back that polite-society politeness to find something more troubling underneath." - 08/31/2018 A.V. Club
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Gleeson brings hidden layers to the tightly-wound, perpetually glum Faraday..." - 08/31/2018 Rolling Stone
"Mr. Gleeson is adept at this double game. His face is as sharp as a hawk’s but somehow also as soft and unformed as a fledgling sparrow’s." - 08/30/2018 New York Times
