Critic Reviews for Tatterdemalion

All Critics (11) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (5)

Lost Child never becomes as affecting or suspenseful as it should be.

Frank Scheck
Hollywood Reporter
The slow-burning thriller walks a fine line, balancing elements of psychological drama and the supernatural, with a surging undercurrent of social commentary that sneaks up on you.

Kevin Crust
Los Angeles Times
At the end of the day, Leven Rambin still manages to hold the film together and as previously mentioned, its supernatural elements prove to be intriguing.

Matthew St. Clair
Cinema Sentries
A haunting examination of folklore and isolation.

December 6, 2019 | Full Review…

Aly Caviness
Midwest Film Journal
Though Lost Child does try to strike at a deeper emotional core through its mishmash of tropes, the over-glossed methodology and cheap resonance make the experience ultimately (and thoroughly) underwhelming.

October 15, 2018 | Rating: 3/10 | Full Review…

Matthew Roe
Film Threat
Tries to have things both ways, raising supernatural overtones while trying to remain grounded in reality, and it doesn't succeed in maintaining the delicate balance that combination requires.

Frank Swietek
One Guy's Opinion
I really tried to like Lost Child, given the Missouri connection and my interest in folklore, but ultimately I had to admit defeat.

September 18, 2018 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

Sarah Boslaugh
TheArtsStl
The way Mosley astutely weaves in comments about America's societal issues is perhaps the most chilling thing of all.

September 17, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Rich Cline
Shadows on the Wall
An extraordinarily delicate balancing act between drama and horror, visually and psychologically expansive, set in a place where stories of monsters are not mere entertaining fun, and where superstition is not harmless.

MaryAnn Johanson
Flick Filosopher
With Lost Child, Mosely has created another modern day myth, and it doesn't hurt that she keeps casting my favorite actresses.

Fred Topel
Monsters and Critics
Supernatural Ozark Mountains mystery that doesn't amount to much at all.
