| Screen QueensMillicent ThomasHe has crafted a darkly beautiful feminine story but has let the women own every moment, and own it they do. |
| GameSpotRafael MotamayorThere is a great 90-minute film hidden somewhere under all the muss of this 153-minute-long motion picture, but it gets lost among a plethora of subplots and attempts at social commentary that lead nowhere. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterLess of a remake, more of a rebirth. And a glorious one at that. |
| Student EdgeSimon MiraudoSuspiria isn't just a brilliant and defining horror classic anymore. It's two. |
| HighDef DigestDeirdre CrimminsThis Suspiria is wholly its own film and offers frantic energy and lush visuals to make for a nearly perfect cinematic experience. |
| ScreenCrushBritt HayesIt is impossible to discuss the rapturous, experiential masterpiece that is Guadagnino’s Suspiria without dedicating this much space to its thematic density. It’s not a film one considers, but excavates, continually finding additional symbols and meaning within the deceptively simple setting. |
| Austin ChronicleJenny NulfSuspiria is not a movie that will gel with everyone. It will awaken the sickest, most twisted parts of your mind if you allow it. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonIt feels like we'll still be discovering new intricate details in Guadagnino's Suspiria for years to come. |
| Film InquiryHazem FahmyThough it may seem odd, at face value, to think of Susie and Elio's stories as peers in the same director's oeuvre, Guadagnino's commitment to interrogating and capturing desire, its ecstasy, its destruction, bridges nearly all his work. |
| Time OutJoshua RothkopfIt’s only hours afterward that Guadagnino’s film will cohere for you and yield its buried treasures: the bonds of secret sorority, the strength of a line of dancers moving like a single organism, the present rippling with the muscle memory of the past. It’s so good, it’s scary. |
