Leave your thoughts about Colonia.
| Movie HabitMarty MapesIt works really well as an entertainment, but more importantly because it doesn't seem to disrespect the reality of Colonia Dignidad. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthWorking at cross-purposes, Colonia tries to have it both ways, wanting to be a shocking true story drama and a riveting piece of moviemaking. But it’s not intelligent enough to accumulate any emotional payoff, and it’s too generic and unsophisticated in its execution to work purely as popcorn entertainment. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakRushed and full of cinematic artifice, Gallenberger and Torsen Wenzel‘s script reveals itself to be devoid of the naturalism the leads are desperately trying to supply. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineThis is an involving, important depiction of a grim, underreported period in Chile's history. |
| El Mundo (Spain)Alberto LuchiniA routine thriller that results in coldness, remoteness, distance and indifference despite efforts. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirWatson gives a serious, determined mien to her character. |
| The Arts DeskEd OwenIts main appeal is the sheer madness of the story, particularly Nyqvist's mentalist performance. |
| Radio TimesStephen CartyA watchable but clearly fictionalised account. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenThe end product is a standard-issue cult drama that nevertheless has its gripping moments thanks mainly to the presence of Emma Watson. |
| Refinery29Esther ZuckermanThe problem with the film is its lack of details. |
