Leave your thoughts about The Ones Below.
| The Film StageJared MobarakThe Ones Below needs some B-movie embellishment to set it apart from every other wannabe thriller, but it hopes it’s too serious for such things. So exacting and severe, we see the strings and grow bored of their inevitability. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghDavid Farr's psychological thriller is a four-hander buoyed by strong, low-key performances from its leads, who commit thoroughly to what are fundamentally one-note characters. |
| MovieMailMike McCahillA horror-thriller that gets in several satirical shots at the status envy of modern urban professionals. |
| indieWireKate ErblandAlthough Farr layers on the creepy until the last frame of The Ones Below, the film's ultimate reveal is hardly shocking, and that the film spends a gratuitous amount time unspooling it long after it's clear what has gone down feels indulgent and unearned. |
| Total FilmMatt GlasbyA quality effort that unsettles even as it gets silly, with Poésy's convincingly spooked performance holding things together when subtlety finally flees the party. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersThe Ones Below is a powerful thriller, a movie that toys with audience expectation at every turn, making it the type of debut Farr will be proud to lead off his resume with long into the foreseeable future. |
| Movie MezzanineVikram MurthiDull and programmatic in equal measure, The Ones Below seeks to thrill with its Polanski-tinged pregnancy drama but mostly ends up insulting its audience's intelligence with an obvious endgame and cheap stabs at paranoid dread. |
| L.A. WeeklyApril WolfeThe Ones Below demonstrates true artistry, with sharp dialogue and the actors to carry it, a perfect pleasure for those who want to dwell in their deepest fears. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chasebaby-fever and the terrors of parenthood coalesce into a genuinely unnerving examination of the tenuous grasp any of us have on sanity, and of the consequences brought about by the enforced intimacy of city living |
| Little White LiesAnton BitelThe plot gestates tautly, before the truth, no less harrowing for being expected, comes out... In thrall to Roman Polanski, and all the better for it. |
