Leave your thoughts about Alleluia.
| New York TimesStephen HoldenAlleluia is a fever dream of sex, jealousy and murder whose intensity leaves you spellbound. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanA provocative and monumentally nerve-wracking thriller. |
| Cinema ScopeBlake Williams... its conflation of the ridiculous with the sublime is this neo-extremist's most admirable and stirring manoeuvre to date. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesDueñas rescues the project with her feverish performance, the character's sexual hunger generating a whirlpool of gore and perversion. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussDu Welz was determined to bring us uncomfortably intimate to this twisted relationship and leave us, like Michel, unable or maybe unwilling to escape Gloria's breath-stealing embrace. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeAlleluia may be a remake, but its somber look couldn’t be more original — all the better for the film to spring its nasty surprises on auds, none more unexpected than the way certain shots remain seared into one’s subconscious in the days and weeks that follow. |
| Film4Anton BitelDu Welz takes amour fou to very strange places - and I don't just mean the Ardennes - in a homicidal love story whose greatness (and oddness) can be measured in feet. |
| Radio TimesAlan JonesThe two leads captivate as the besotted psychotic duo in a nightmarish odyssey that's offbeat right up to its enigmatic conclusion. |
| GuardianPhil HoadFabrice du Welz's serial-murder jolly doesn't quite dramatically press its central relationship enough to prevent the film from devolving at the last into a default bloodbath. But it's disturbingly credible for a long time. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikDu Welz deftly balances the sensationalistic elements with a more down-to-earth study of obsession. |
