The Lure Ratings & Reviews
Bitch Media
Dahlia Balcazar
It's got teen romance, misandry, cannibalism, and synchronized dancing - what's not to love?
Bitch Media
Britt Ashley
I thought the movie did such a great job balancing the fantasy elements of the fairy tale with a grittier contemporary setting.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
A perversely strange take on The Little Mermaid lore, The Lure takes you into its stylish depths to relay the fate of some poor, unfortunate souls.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
The Lure is one of those perverse, intense, facetious yet perfectly earnest films that never stops having a good time-although its relentlessness means that the viewer might feel inclined to bow out of the festivities every now and then.
CutPrintFilm
Karen Han
The Lure is remarkable not just for its zaniness but for its willingness to let girls be girls. It's not a luxury often afforded to female characters, especially not in horror, and it's especially notable as the male characters are either food or flakes.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
A nod to politically correct species reassignment surgery livens the third act, but the film eventually sinks under the weight of its own silly excess.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
There is no continuity in narrative or character and it's all shot in an elliptical, heavily stylized, gaudily lit (much of it looks like it's shot through an algae-filmed aquarium) collage.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
A woozily entrancing mash-up, shimmying by itself in the corner of the horror-musical canon and sure to earn quizzically appreciative stares from genre enthusiasts.
L.A. Weekly
Odie Henderson
It's sexy, fearless, fun and unrepentantly nasty.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Smoczynska's film swings and sways to its own eccentric beat, eventually branching out to also present portraits of adult longing and go-for-broke rebellion.
Reverse Shot
Adam Nayman
As cinematic Frankensteins go, The Lure is far from seamless, but if the movies are where mad scientists get points for trying, this ambitious experiment in genre hybridity at least deserves some sympathetic dissection.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
It's the '80s rock musical with sex, mermaids, and murder you've been waiting for.
AV Club
Katie Rife
A genre-defying film that blends elements of musicals, horror, romance, and fantasy into a contemporary fairy tale that celebrates the animalistic, the feminine, and the intimate intersections between the two.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
The Lure deserves to be seen, though it's sadly not as joyfully deranged as it could be.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Holding it all together is an exploration - always intriguing if not always coherent - of the myths and puzzles of female sexuality.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
Agnieszka Smoczynska's film is most poignant when it simply stares at its own strangeness.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Smoczynska handles it all with death-sexy panache, aided and abetted in this superior catch by some drop dead sexy cinematography from Jakub Kijowski, and a boatload of seriously eye-popping setpieces. More, please.
The Hollywood Reporter
Justin Lowe
The filmmakers' enthusiasm for their characters and the vanished period setting is palpable, asserting a certain fatalistic charm of its own.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Abetted by impressive lo-fi effects work, the musical numbers alone come to resemble the wildest dreams of every Eurovision show producer.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Try as she might to pretend otherwise, Smoczynska builds her story upon the foundation of a fairy tale, and all of her fantastically bonkers ornamentations are supported by the romance that blossoms between Silver and Mietek.
