The Turning's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
The Turning announces Sigismondi as a bold and adept genre filmmaker, with an eye for detail and impeccable casting choices.
Variety
The psychological thriller of Henry James becomes a film that is not very memorable and scary (...) Its modernity is sometimes absorbing
The Wrap
'The Turning' is not a total loss. There are some stylish, nearly giallo-like sequences and sensitive performances from both Wolfhard and Prince, both of whom look like they could go further with their roles if the script didn?t eventually limit them to reactions in the second half.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sacrifices the narrative and emotional coherence in favor of a series of scenes that want to be scary and that seem designed so that the babysitters do not pursue their vocation.
Screen Daily
Instead of intriguing ambiguity, this updated version ? which had a long and bumpy development ? offers only maddening confusion...With false endings within false endings, it?s the sort of movie whose final fade-out will leave audiences groaning in frustration.
The A.V. Club
In a movie that is so lost, everything from performances and production design to the soundtrack is a lot of dirty mirrors and broken dolls.
