| Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpJust like the black ichor seeping into Laura, Matriarch saturates viewers’ senses until it pays off its many adumbrations with unexpected revelations. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLike Ari Aster’s similarly slippery “Hereditary,” Steiner’s film shrewdly shifts back and forth between the real physical threat of dark supernatural forces and the more elusive harm done by a lifetime of bad parenting. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergMatriarch opens by watching a nude figure descend into a pond of black muck, but the slog that follows in this derivative, tar-flow-paced thriller from Britain is strictly for the viewer. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001Some folk horror that has an intriguing premise but lacks an interesting protagonist, and that is because in the face of the mystery she shows a complete disregard for finding the answers. That's why when the script needs to provide explanations, this is made in a forced manner to keep the plot moving forward. Details are sparse and the film focuses more on atmosphere and visuals. The development is slow and the horror itself is scarce. Its effectiveness as I said is focused on the visuals. It's not a film of jumpscares or violence, so if that's what you're looking for, you're going to have to find it elsewhere. There's more ideas, vigor and ambition than comprehension, but from the results it seems like the director understood that a more complex route would have been more problematic for his story and while he doesn't deliver everything on a silver platter, you won't break your head trying to make sense of it either. |
| User ReviewOrukayuHorror movie produced in 2022, which cannot even be considered mediocre. Although the environment in the film is very suitable for tension, the tension decreases as it progresses. It deals with the story of a woman who has addicted herself to drugs and alcohol due to depression, leaving her life in the city and going to her mother, whom she never loved. His mother lives in a village and everyone in the village is a weirdo. The plot could have been a good book, but the movie is both boring and silly. The woman's mother is weird. In time, he too is trying to sacrifice his daughter. There is a swamp. The swamp has supernatural powers. The woman's mother uses these supernatural powers as her own to heal the villagers. Turns out the swamp was alive. In fact, his daughter was the daughter of the swamp, not his own. There is plenty of sexuality and nudity in the movie. |
