Relic Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
"Relic" is the feel-dread movie of the year.
Refinery29
Anne Cohen
The great power of Relic, Natalie Erika James' terrifying directorial debut, is how deftly it straddles the blurry line between reality and the supernatural.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
This is a horror film... but it's also a heartbreaking meditation on watching someone you love slip away, until they aren't who they were anymore.
NPR
Justin Chang
A disturbing and ultimately devastating movie about what it means to love someone unconditionally, even when they've lost the power to love you back.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Peter Rainer
It starts well, but then they paint themselves into a corner and don't know how to resolve the mystery.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
I particularly like it as a parable about dementia... It falls apart a little bit in the final act, but there's this creepy, eerie stylishness about it and a mounting sense of dread that I appreciated.
Crooked Marquee
Kimber Myers
This is the first horror movie that not only made me gasp but also made me sob, struggling to catch a breath at the beauty and tragedy of what James creates on screen.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
Relic is a slow movie, and a quiet one; director Natalie Erika James is in no hurry to explain to us what's happening. But that's what makes it so effective, so chilling, and so unsettling in the end.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
A sinister slow-blooming portrait of domestic horror.
Perri Nemiroff (YouTube)
Perri Nemiroff
Relic is a pretty expertly crafted film and an excellent example of how genre storytelling can get at some very hard truths.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
It's a hell of a performance by Robyn Nevin, who's had a long and commanding career on the Australian stage.
Los Angeles Times
Geoff Berkshire
For most of its running time, "Relic" feels more like a chamber piece than a full-fledged horror outing, but a nail-biting third act ups the ante.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
This movie shook me to my core, and by the time it ended I had to sit in silence pondering its many humanistic layers for several minutes.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
James captures that sense of incremental, irrevocable loss, balancing the uncanny and the intimate in a way rarely seen since Joel Anderson's 2009 funeral march, Lake Mungo.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Relic" is an exemplary entry in the New Horror canon, where psychology and atmosphere count for as much as shocks, where the inner wounds of women often take startling external form, and where less is more until the time comes for more to be more.
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
You get horror films that are said to be "about X," rather than just another horror movie - while ultimately failing to make good on any of these myriad parts. Relic is yet another of these films.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Angelica Jade Bastién
When it comes to the dimensions of horror within the film, Relic is lacking. It instills dread from the very beginning, but the promise of this mood is never fully realized.
AV Club
Katie Rife
Mortality and the fear of the unknown that comes with it is the foundation of all horror, but rarely is the nature of death explored in as terrifying and tender a fashion as it is in Natalie Erika James' Relic.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
This is a horror movie with a soul.
IndieWire
Ryan Lattanzio
It's safe to say that James' film now owns the corner on the market of horror movies about women watching their mothers come hideously undone.
