What the critics say 10, from one review

10 The TelegraphRobbie Collin Better than the original (...) 'Suspiria' draws a complex, provocative line through faith, politics, dance and, yes, witchcraft. Read
The Hollywood ReporterDavid Rooney [It] is exquisitely crafted and rich in atmosphere (...) 'Suspiria' feels unnecessarily drawn out, with too many discursive shifts in focus to build much tension. Read
IndiewireDavid Ehrlich A grim and glorious work of madness (...) Things get twisted, and build to a delirious finale that?s debauched enough to satisfy even the most hardcore gore-hounds. Read

Trivia

Two years of training

Dakota Johnson completed two years of ballet training in preparation for her role in this film.
Dr. Josef Klemperer

Tilda Swinton's performance as 'Dr. Josef Klemperer' came about when both Swinton and director Luca Guadagnino thought that in a movie centering on women, it felt right to have a woman also play the principle male character. During filming, only a few cast members and virtually none of the extras knew that it was really Swinton in heavy make-up. They purposely credited a fictitious German actor called 'Lutz Ebersdorf' as Klemperer to hide this fact. The ruse would have gone as far as stating that Ebersdorf had already passed away during the editing phase, which would have explained his absence at the movie's premiere, but Swinton and Guadagnino thought that this went a step too far.
Intense and disturbing

The first footage premiered at the 2018 CinemaCon presentation. It was said to be so "intense and disturbing", that some audience members left, midway through.
Rough filming

In an interview with Elle magazine, actress Dakota Johnson revealed the intensity of the shoot had..."fucked [her] up so much that [she] had to go to therapy."
