Leave your thoughts about A Cure for Wellness.
| CinemaBlend.comMike ReyesA Cure For Wellness is what happens when you mix the noir-ish shades of Shutter Island with the Hammer Horror overtones of Crimson Peak, and mix in a dash of Bioshock for good measure. |
| ForbesMark HughesThe sumptuous visuals and spiral into confusing dream-logic - or more accurately, nightmare-logic... sets the stage for a horror production driven by aesthetics and ideas more than pure plotting and character-driven narrative. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyNarratively preposterous and probably an hour too long, it’s the year’s first big howler. It could have been DeHaan’s "Shutter Island," but instead it’s just Gore Verbinski’s latest self-indulgent mess following "The Lone Ranger." |
| Tribune News ServiceKatie WalshA Cure for Wellness is an odd film. It's exceedingly well-crafted; the attention to detail and design, composition and camera movement on display here has largely been abandoned by recent horror films grasping for a jarring sense of realism. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottAn original horror movie in an era when the genre has grown anemic. A bit too long is the only criticism. |
| TheFrightFile.comDustin PutmanDensely imagined & boldly designed, "A Cure for Wellness" thrillingly takes its time, allowing each scene to breathe while washing over viewers willing to go along for the narratively elaborate, psychologically challenging, intoxicatingly deliberate ride. |
| NerdistKristy PuchkoA Cure For Wellness offers far more style than substance. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersI find myself believing A Cure for Wellness deserves to be amongst Verbinski's best, and the more I dissect its various layers the more confident in that determination I find that I become. |
| ThrillistMatt PatchesThink of it as your new favorite HBO series in movie form -- too majestic, too mesmerizing, and too bizarre to write off. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowThe story basically boils down to: creepy scene here, creepy scene there, REALLY creepy scene downstairs, excruciating dentist scene. |
