Leave your thoughts about Berlin Syndrome.
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayArtful and disturbing. Teresa Palmer's best performance to date. |
| Consequence of SoundRandall ColburnBerlin Syndrome isn’t a sensational film; the emotions on display are warped and scarred, but rooted in identifiable desires. In some ways, this makes their impact that much more ingrained. |
| Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyDriven by a compellingly internalized performance from Teresa Palmer as the conflicted prey, this is a case of expert filmmaking craft applied to a familiar story that becomes unrelentingly grim and drawn out after its masterful setup. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyA nasty piece of business tarted up with a stylish, high-gloss veneer. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfWorks against all odds, managing to preserve the sickness of the situation while remaining attentive to the needs of suspense and depths of sophisticated characterization. |
| Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comCary Darling[Shortland] is expert and building a sense of dread and suspense while Palmer delivers a persuasive performance as a woman who has to summon the strength that she didn't know she had in order to escape. |
| Empire MagazineIan FreerA thoughtful chamber piece and great white knuckle thriller, Berlin Syndrome confirms Cate Shortland as a distinctive, cherishable talent in her most accessible movie to date. |
| Observer (UK)Wendy IdeAustralian director Cate Shortland (Somersault, Lore) takes a horror movie premise and imbues it with the knotty emotional complexity of a dysfunctional relationship psychodrama. |
| The VergeBryan BishopPalmer’s performance is honest and brave (particularly given that she’s often just performing scenes alone), and Shortland deftly switches between locked-door thriller mode and more nuanced character work. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonThe film could probably stand to lose about 20 minutes overall (there is a good chunk of the movie that spins its wheels without very much story progression), but Clare's harrowing journey is still damn compelling. |
