The Virgin of the Quarry Lake Ratings & Reviews
Kevin Ward
4d ago
The Virgin of Quarry Lake is a sun-scorched coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of Argentina’s economic crisis, where teenage longing collides with the weight of everyday survival. Dolores Oliviero is captivating as Natalia, an orphaned teen living with her grandmother navigating a summer that feels both endless and suffocating. With water shortages forcing her to haul buckets from a well, a grief-stricken neighbor boy delegated to her care, and an elusive crush on Diego that doesn’t go the way she hopes—Nati drifts through her days with a mix of resignation and simmering frustration. For much of the runtime, it plays like a hazy hangout film—poolside gossip, cigarette breaks, languid dips in the titular Quarry Lake. But under the surface, there's a palpable tension as Natalia's bitterness begins to bloom into something darker. The final act dips into the supernatural just enough to suggest an emotional rupture rather than a full-on genre turn, and it works surprisingly well. Beautifully shot and anchored by Oliviero’s performance.

It reaches a crimson crescendo that feels fitting for its aims.
Geek Vibes Nation
Cameron Ritter
The Virgin of the Quarry Lake is a strong story about teenage angst, individual agency, and the woes of those with a little too much time on their hands.
Slant Magazine
Marshall Shaffer
Laura Casabé abstracts the typical emotions of tortured teens, only to then amplify them.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
The heat of summer pulses beneath the action and we can virtually smell the sweat and decay as the sound of flies or a gathering storm punctuate the soundtrack.
Nightmare on Film Street
Jonathan DeHaan
It's a stretch label it strictly a horror movie, but for fans of sun-soaked dramas poisoned with a dose of doom, The Virgin of The Quarry Lake certainly casts a spell.
NPR
Aisha Harris
Casabé uses magical realism and the macabre to explore desire, jealousy, and insecurity within a protagonist who's both extremely relatable and scary to contemplate.
Collider
Therese Lacson
The Virgin of the Quarry Lake turns a coming-of-age story into a supernatural tale of violence, but it's the muddying of genres that ultimately makes the film fall short of the massive potential it has.
Film Inquiry
Kristy Strouse
Quarry Lake infuses its narrative with a near-feral intensity, driven by Dolores Oliverio's mesmerizing performance.
HorrorBuzz
Norman Gidney
A haunting story told with admirable artistry and craft.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Olivero's riveting performance mingles entitled teenage petulance with darker reserves of rage... Casabé's direction likewise balances keen coming-of-age observations with a stranger, more inchoate sense of a world slipping out of order.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
Has a lot of good ideas simmering beneath its surface, but it ultimately falls victim to its own narrative meandering and devolves into a sluggish coming-of-age tale that takes far too long to reach its payoff.
io9.com
Cheryl Eddy
Oliverio's naturalistic performance conveys a character who pinballs between puffed-up confidence and extremely low self-esteem, and who must navigate growing up in an unstable environment where men (and some women, too) are not to be trusted.
Filmmaker Magazine
Vadim Rizov
The resulting film sped fairly through its 97 minutes, which is weirdly low-key and definitely destined to disappoint genre-hounds, but which I found kind of fun.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
This is a challenging, at times nasty, film, but it's not cynical. When all humanity seems lost, Casabé returns to the faces of her talented performers to reveal the conflict beneath their harsh choices.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Elliptical though this allegory may be, it remains a gripping experience throughout.
Guy at the Movies
Jeff Nelson
There are plenty of thrills bubbling under the surface to keep you on the edge of your seat, but the film eventually renders flat.
Dread Central
Chad Collins
Bouts of violence and a sharp folkloric edge render The Virgin of the Quarry Lake an uncommonly frightening and tragic coming-of-age saga.
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
What's unique, and most interesting, about "The Virgin of the Quarry Lake," is the specificity Casabé brings to Natalia's jealousy - and Oliverio's breakout performance.
