Leave your thoughts about Between Worlds.
| VanyalandNick Johnston[A] bizarro b-movie stacked to the gills with odd choices and silly moments that still somehow manages not to be terrible. |
| ColliderHaleigh FoutchThere's so much to like about Between Worlds, and on paper it sounds like exactly the right movie to channel Cage's late-career mayhem, but in practice it's flat and flimsy. |
| Film InquiryAmanda MazzilloThe performances help establish the surreal and interesting world of the film, but overall, Between Worlds feels like wasted potential. |
| We Live EntertainmentFred TopelCage makes four of these a year and usually two of them are good. So Between Worlds isn't one of the good ones. |
| It's Just MoviesRon WilkinsonNick and Franka develop an off-beat chemistry in a light duty possession noir. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThe actor’s fierce commitment turns Between Worlds into another solidly strange entry in the ever-expanding “Nicolas Cage movie” sub-genre. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonAs someone who adores films that full-on embrace WTF-ery in their storytelling, Between Worlds delivered the weirdly demented goods and then some. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckVeering heavily into sexual territory, the film is more a gothic melodrama than a horror film. It certainly feels like a waste of not only Cage's talent (although the actor has a climactic, literally fiery scene that will forever change the way you think about the pop song "Leader of the Pack"), but also Potente, whose potential has been sadly underrealized in American films. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreBetween Worlds is a down and dirty supernatural thriller with the faintest veneer of substance covering the sordid. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisWhile fragments of past, present and who-knows-what events flash past, Cage, bless him, fully commits to the nuttiness. |
