Thelma's reviews
Media reviews
Cinemanía
"Trier triumphs in his proposal of mixing the supernatural with a psychological intrigue very close to horror [...]. His concern for reaching the highest point in one plot is the only objection for a film with demanded more abstraction"
Fotogramas
"An elegant way to tackle the fantastic cinema, clearly and strictly realistic, with a paused but persuasive rhythm"
Variety
Whereas Brian De Palma?s 'Carrie' tackled this scenario with lurid, humid verve, Trier treats it with chilly, distant remove, replacing De Palma?s overheated melodrama and explosive finale with glacial sensuality and a perversely underplayed denouement.
The Hollywood Reporter
Its intelligent, measured tone and elegant visual style will find admirers (...) its original take on the coming-out drama.
Screen Daily
Trier?s new film knowingly echoes that fright-night classic, settling into its own odd rhythms while never quite escaping its predecessor?s mighty influence.
Indiewire
An ominous, unnerving, and strangely powerful thriller (...). The stillness of this unassuming film ultimately becomes the scariest thing about it.
