Borgman Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"Borgman" might sound compelling in the abstract. But if you want to enjoy it and stay engaged by it for more than 10 minutes, you'll have to talk yourself into it.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
It's the hypnotic little thriller's disturbing twists that make it such a singular -- and singularly weird -- experience.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
What Marina sees in Borgman is one of the countless implausibilities that make the film more annoying than disturbing.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Filled with surreal touches and shocking scenes of black humor, Borgman steams ahead with the power and inevitability of a nightmare.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
The degree of ambiguity involved in this scenario imbues each new twist with claustrophobia and dread.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
"Borgman" can sometimes frustrate but it is an accomplished piece of work, driven by a uniquely malevolent tonal balance and two fantastic central performances.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A sickening horror parable disguised as a comedy of mores, the Netherlands' "Borgman" is a rarity: a genuinely shocking, upsetting movie.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
With so many outr elements and so few concrete answers, Borgman certainly has the makings of a cult film, which seems very much by design. Too much by design, arguably ...
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
An art-house con destined to make viewers who've ever used the term "mindf---" as praise rack their brains trying to come up with alternate readings for a film that invites many but convincingly offers none.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
At a time when modern films pummel you over the head with their intentions, van Warmerdam's ambiguity in mapping out Borgman's implacable agenda will hopefully fuel many rewarding, post-screening discussions.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Though it's too enigmatic for its own good and often feels like it's being made up as it goes, the Dutch import "Borgman" holds interest if only to see what might possibly happen next.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
[An] exceptionally disturbing film ...
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
You may find yourself chuckling at Borgman as much as you recoil at it. It's destined for cult status.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The story's magic is black, its perfidy driven by evil spirits.
Paste Magazine
Tim Grierson
"Borgman" is a movie about the way that families fall apart without ever realizing it until the whole house collapses. Or maybe it's about psychic vampires. Maybe both.
Village Voice
Stephanie Zacharek
The picture is fascinating for the way it introduces the kernel of an idea and then builds on it slowly, sustaining suspense rather than just leading the audience right up to the "OK, I get it" moment and running out of steam.
TheWrap
Sasha Stone
In an era where there are very few truly surprising films, Borgman is one of the rare movies that manages to find something entirely new to say, with original, oddly drawn characters.
Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
While the film ultimately is not as satisfying as it promises to be for much of the duration, it remains bracingly creepy and off-kilter.
Film Comment Magazine
Nicolas Rapold
Van Warmerdam has built a visually clean, efficient, modern version of a fairy tale...the film confirms the veteran Dutch filmmaker as an under-sung, if perhaps old-fashioned, practitioner of that trusty art-house staple, the twisted domestic allegory.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Erik McClanahan
For those who get on its wavelength, the rewards are ample and the desire to re-watch will take over.
