Medusa Deluxe Ratings & Reviews

Worth seeing Luca....
Los Angeles Times
Sergio Burstein
The clamorous lack of narrative development leads us to imagine that the text was only an excuse for the bold staging. [Full review in Spanish]
Culturess
Lauren Coates
From Perkins, Webb, and Meikle's gripping performances to the stunning hair and makeup work from Chloe Dixon and Anne Little, Medusa Deluxe is a poignant murder mystery with a stellar cast and a killer sense of style.

Nicholas Bell
A whodunnit 'hair don't' of verbosity needing a bit more fabulosity.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Strong-willed hairdressers and their creative coifs highlight this amusing whodunit that's both visually extravagant and tightly constructed.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
Writer/director Thomas Hardiman clearly had a ball developing this feature, which involves an elaborate hairstyling competition, an ambitious approach to a whodunit, and plenty of reasons to admire the carefully thought-out production design.

Medusa Deluxe is what you would get if Ru Paul made a murder mystery Russian Ark - and somehow, it's even better than that sounds
In Review Online
Luke Gorham
By the time the intrigue of the film's niche setting recedes and its potential feels suitably squandered, we're only a quarter of the way through, and from here Hardiman orchestrates a molasses-slow march to the finish.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Like the beehives teased to the heavens on screen, "Medusa Deluxe" is an impressive, if somewhat empty, effort.
The Playlist
Christian Gallichio
A bold and energetic debut.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Dazzlingly impressive from a technical perspective but frustratingly dull from a narrative one, "Medusa Deluxe" is an ambitious but uneven experience.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Mesmerizing, even though it doesn't stick the landing.
Mashable
Kristy Puchko
Medusa Deluxe is an extravagant, relentlessly propulsive, and wildly entertaining film, rich with provocative performances, jaw-dropping ambition, astounding visuals - both squalid and sublime - and a dizzying blend of dark humor and persistent empathy.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Deluxe suffers from being more concerned about its flash and sass than collaring the criminal.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
From its playfully inventive opening to its flash-forward finale, Thomas Hardiman's wild - and wildly impressive - first feature, set during a British regional hairdressing competition, is a proudly indelicate, painstakingly structured pleasure.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
So much energy and effort has gone in to navigating the movie's treacherous obstacle course and marshaling the troops that someone seems to have forgotten that a comprehensible story would be needed to tie all of it together.
Perri Nemiroff (YouTube)
Perri Nemiroff
An incredible feature debut from Thomas Hardiman with staggeringly impressive work from DP Robbie Ryan. Medusa Deluxe is a dazzling technical feat made all the more powerful by its A+ ensemble, including a breathtaking performance from Clare Perkins.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
Few, if any, single-shot movies ever justify the conceit. In fact, most of them do their material a disservice through the distraction that emerges naturally from the trickery.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
"Medusa Deluxe"'s problems can by and large be traced back to its signature stunt.
IndieWire
Marisa Mirabal
An arresting and visually stunning achievement, Medusa Deluxe breaks the framework on storytelling and sheds the skin of a subculture in the process.
