In lesser hands, Little Joe would be a very dangerous film. As it stands, the latest masterful psychodrama from Austrian powerhouse Jessica Hausner still has plenty of potential to offend. May 21, 2019 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

Slow acting, mannered sets and stylized filming make this film itself sadly affectless. May 21, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Something about Hausner's picture held me, with its narcotic pacing, its smiling, zombified performances and its intensely, almost radioactively bright digital sheen. May 19, 2019 | Full Review…

Creepy for how mundanely uncreepy it plays its scenario, Little Joe is an existential horror movie about our inability to understand our own complicated emotions, and the allure of relenting to a kind of thoughtless, unburdened happiness. May 18, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

It's impressive how Hausner manages to splice together all these distinctive elements so harmoniously. May 18, 2019 | Full Review…

Pre-screening buzz suggested the film plays like a supersize Black Mirror episode, and that's not far off. May 17, 2019 | Full Review…

A deliberately clinical, even cold film about the horror of synthetic happiness, Little Joe is an impressively stylish film that puts the demands of idealized happiness under the microscope in uncomfortable, disturbing ways. Oct 4, 2019 | Full Review…

The actors all speak like robots... and the Japanese music of Teiji Ito (of the 70's), added to strange noises, creates an artificial and useless atmosphere. [Full Review in Spanish] Jun 12, 2019 | Full Review…

Hausner seems more preoccupied with shipshape formalism and a jarring soundtrack than in creating a resonant mother-son story...this time, the form just takes over everything else. Jun 3, 2019 | Full Review…

Apart from the fascinating costume design... the musical soundtrack deserves a separate comment. [Full review in Spanish] May 30, 2019 | Full Review…
