jake K @krauser 5d Already my favorite Nazi horror film of the decade. (And I’m not even that much into Nazis.) See more Kitten C @KittenCalfee 6d Innovative, intelligent and darkly charming in bold ways, this film accomplishes something new, distinctive and disturbing. Expect colorful characters and the curses of historical crimes to result in body horror scenes you’ve never seen before. See more zach N @zzachman 6d that was seriously off the charts See more Andrew L. @light4668 6d It was pretty ok the first half. Second half just went off the rails and was dumb. Bad acting and absurd voice overs that were supposed to be phone calls with random crap flashing on the screen. See more dennis B @dburgh 6d Formally, Solvent is a film of infected media. The found-footage and first-person style works because the cameras never seem neutral: helmet cams, investigation footage, old photos, and private fragments all promise to reveal the truth, but instead they pull us deeper into the contamination. The closer we look, the less control we have. Seeing more does not mean understanding more. The body horror is dirty, humiliating, absurd, and often bitterly funny. Urine, rot, black liquid, phallic imagery, and filth are not just there to shock; they make the film’s politics physical. Fascism is not shown as something clean, distant, or historical, but as something that leaks through family stories, neighborly comments, wellness nonsense, and provincial denial. Solvent offers no cleansing or easy ending. The farmhouse is not fixed, the past is not buried, and the title becomes cruel: a solvent dissolves things, but it also spreads what it touches. See more Timothy P @timop1919 May 7 The characters are really annoying and it makes it difficult to watch the whole thing though the story is ok. See more Read all reviews
