Hot Milk Ratings & Reviews
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
I was really gripped by it and I loved the performances, particularly Fiona Shaw.
The Cinema Spot
Maxance Vincent
[Fiona] Shaw makes the most out of her Hot Milk character and is the sole reason why anyone should bother sitting through such a thunderously dull film like this one.
In Review Online
Chris Cassingham
Hot Milk is neither psychologically rich nor dramatically affecting. Its contemplative pace dresses the proceedings in superficial import, but there's an unavoidable shallowness in its treatment of trauma, a reluctance to swim out to sea and risk drowning
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
Sadly, looking past the beauty of the scenery and the performers, there's ultimately not enough here.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
The script is overwritten, stating things bluntly that have already been communicated - and communicated better - in the silences.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Mackey is a simmering, sullen, potent lead, keeping viewers on edge even as she lounges in the sun.
Bay Area Reporter
Joshua Polanski
Makes for a pretty good queer addition to the "summer romance" sub-genre with lovers languishing with longing in the picturesque Greek beach town that the filmmakers confidently transform into idyllic Spain.
Sarah G Vincent Views
Sarah Vincent
many will walk away from the film dissatisfied. It is about an inner change, not something as pat as going to the US to study, getting the girl, finding comfort with new friends or family, which is how most conventional films would denote success.
Boston Movie News
James Verniere
A weird hybrid mix of Gothic, film noir and parent-and-child beach movie with a payoff that does not work, the film pulls you in thanks to Mackey aka "the Face," Shaw and Krieps.
Common Sense Media
Kat Halstead
Adapted from the bestselling book by Deborah Levy, this directorial debut from writer Rebecca Lenkiewicz (Disobedience, Colette) is a bit of an enigma, just like its central characters.
Spectrum Culture
Derek Chen
It's a story that has all the ingredients of a Tumblr hall-of-famer, if only directed with an inkling of competence.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Hot Milk will leave viewers cold by its vague ending. This dull drama is about a pouting grad student who's resentful of being her disabled mother's caregiver while having an uncertain romance with a woman.
Cine Sin Fronteras
Rene Sanchez
Although it captivates with its hypnotic atmospheres and Fiona Shaw's performance, the elusive narrative lessens the power of its emotional journey. [Full Review in Spanish]
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
It is dreamlike, meditative, and ambiguous, with an ending that leaves us with questions about what is real and what is imagined, what is happening in the world of the film, and what is symbolic.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
The film eventually finds its footing, but the journey there might convince you not to care.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
A startling beauty who radiates both intelligence and a teenager-like surliness, Mackey is Hot Milk's main point of interest and its stable anchor.
Variety
Peter Debruge
In principle, [Emma Mackey is] sufficiently enigmatic to carry a movie, and yet, the character herself is sketched a bit too thinly to sustain the short 93-minute running time, mostly because Lenkiewicz fails to establish what this character wants.
IndieWire
Ryan Lattanzio
There's a '60s arthouse movie in here somewhere, but "Hot Milk" instead relies on those films' most tiresome and outmoded tendencies. Perhaps we, as audiences, have outgrown the stench of ennui, too.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
I wish I could say I found Hot Milk affecting, but it's continually dragged down by inertia, by a writer-director whose approach is too intellectual to give space to emotion.
Slant Magazine
Marshall Shaffer
The film never gains momentum within its cascading rhythm of staccato sequences that establish just how out of sync its central mother-daughter pair is.
