Its atmospheric sophistication holds strong throughout, channeling a wonder for the natural world reminiscent of Terrence Malick with an air of existential dread straight out of Andrei Tarkovsky. Read full review

The arty but suspenseful drama The Strange Ones is a perfect demonstration of how the craft of storytelling is also the craft of withholding — of revealing as little as possible in carefully parceled-out amounts. Read full review

The Strange Ones is a solid movie on first watch that becomes a seriously good movie on second watch. Maybe that’s a poor framework for an endorsement, but the film is more than the shock of its climax. Read full review

The film is worth seeing because, regardless of things that I wish had been done better or differently, it feels like the beginning of a major filmmaking career, and because Pettyfer and Freedson-Jackson are so strong. Read full review

The film's mixture of sensationalism and self-conscious artiness is experimentally disingenuous at best. Read full review

Perhaps this slow and generally dull and opaque picture never should have seen the light of day. Read full review

Awesome Mystery movie that leaves everything open-ended although, in my opinion, you can find the answers in the movie (6'5).

I really liked the tone and the atmosphere but honestly the movie never hooked me up.
