Fingernails Ratings & Reviews
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Todd McCarthy
Yes, the director has obvious gifts that we've seen before and which surface momentarily even in this miscalculation. Still, why he chose this off-putting material for his American debut, especially with its grotesque climax, is a real head-scratcher.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
Lo-fi sci-fi with a smidgen of body horror and a big, lovelorn heart.
Variety
Guy Lodge
The longer its ideas gnaw at us, the less alternate its universe seems.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
Director Christos Nikou turns the premise into a subtle meditation on how different every partnership's story is and the result is both kind and thought-provoking.
RogerEbert.com
Robert Daniels
The quiet soulfulness of Buckley, Ahmed, and White makes for a banquet of slow cinema.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
It may be a story about the unknowability of love, but its pulse never races - it doesn't pick up at all.
Los Angeles Times
Carlos Aguilar
There's an endearing bizarreness to Fingernails... that allows him [Nikou] to grasp at some of the intricacies of the human condition, steeped in silences as much as heartfelt analysis.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's not the familiarity of this setup that irks, but its silliness.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Heartache and horror walk hand in hand in "Fingernails," a disarmingly sweet science-fiction romance from the Greek director Christos Nikou.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
"Fingernails" is a film about the nature of relationships, yet it seems to know little about them.
Chicago Reader
Noah Berlatsky
The film is successful because it manages to create its own logical, nonsensical rules, which love then snaps.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
"Fingernails" won't be for all tastes, but I found this gracefully acted, lightly dusted sci-fi drama to be one of the most refreshing films about love in a while.
The Atlantic
Shirley Li
For all its whimsy, Fingernails is delicately profound. Its characters aren't making bold romantic moves; they're interrogating their assumptions of what is ultimately an unknowable phenomenon.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
That provocative element is in those touches where it references other films... when our relationships don't seem to match what we see in those films, when the feelings aren't as strong or as definitive, that's when the doubt creeps in.
Crooked Marquee
Kimber Myers
Fingernails won't satisfy both hearts and minds at the level of its masterful predecessors, but Nikou has written and directed a moving, thought-provoking film.
TheWrap
Thelma Adams
Nikou's sci-fi drama is more failed experiment than a fine, or redefining, romance.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
It's a really interesting concept that they explore in understated ways.
Newsday
Robert Levin
This is an affecting romance and a work of compelling social commentary. That's a noteworthy achievement.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
The plot's direction becomes evident early on, but it isn't especially convincing and it proceeds there as though stuck in holiday traffic.
indieWire
David Ehrlich
Buckley, White, and Ahmed are as strong as they could possibly be in a film that strands them in a sterile comic wasteland somewhere between Sirkian melodrama and Lanthimos-like monotone.
