Writer-director William McGregor's debut feature film, "Gwen," has the eerie quiet and grim portent of a supernatural horror story, but it's a genre picture more in form than content. Aug 15, 2019 | Full Review…

The film looks and sounds the part of an elegantly haunted gothic horror movie, only to skip past standard chiller expectations to disquiet its audience in more grounded, historically rooted ways. Aug 7, 2019 | Full Review…

It's a bleakly beautiful film, full of angry skies and distant thunder. Jul 22, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This is not social realism in the style of Ken Loach, but it is a film with a strong sense of outrage. Jul 17, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Ultimately, McGregor piles so much misfortune on his downtrodden heroines with so little dramatic justification, the net emotional effect is more numbing than moving. Sep 8, 2018 | Full Review…

While visually striking and atmospheric, the film is hobbled by its narrative murkiness. Aug 16, 2019 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

For the most part, Gwen achieves what it sets out to do. It surrounds you in scenic hopelessness and lets you stew in it until you're done, or Gwen's done. Aug 16, 2019 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

Gwen has been described as something of a horror film (and will be heading to the great horror streaming service Shudder), but I'd call it something more along the lines of a "misery" film. Aug 16, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

First-time writer/director William McGregor fashions together some thought-provoking scenarios and grim imagery, but the folktale never finds its way out of the fog. Aug 16, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

The remote landscapes give the film a stark beauty, although the story is so consistently bleak that it's difficult to find an emotional entry point. Aug 16, 2019 | Full Review…
