Crimson Peak's reviews
Media reviews
NJ.com
At its worst, and best, 'Crimson Peak' exists in a weird parallel world where very separate rules of logic apply. It's a true waking nightmare.
The Washington Post
"A meandering, deliberate and tearless - yet oddly moving - western vehicle, which is both slow and, as gunslinger movies tend to be, action packed."
Fotogramas
"For lovers of the Gothic novel and Mario Bava. (...) The boldness of this movie is to say, from minute one, that ghosts exist and dwell in the depths of our fears."
The Wrap
"[...] there are surprising moments of natural beauty and of shocking violence ? sometimes piled atop each other ? but the movie is never blasé about its bloodshed"
Los Angeles Times
"A Western fable with an often dreamlike vibe, "Slow West" proves to be a surprisingly sly tale of passion, greed and survival."
The Hollywood Reporter
It's certainly unequaled in its field for the beauty of its camerawork, sets, costumes and effects. But it's also conventionally plotted and not surprising or scary at all.
Variety
Aflame with color and awash in symbolism, this undeniably ravishing yet ultimately disappointing haunted-house meller is all surface and no substance, sinking under the weight of its own self-importance into the sanguine muck below.
