The Human Surge is bravely idiosyncratic, although its more inscrutable elements may prove distancing for some viewers. Read critic reviews

Williams sympathizes with his protagonists, though his film is too fluid and keen on catching the quirkiness of everyday speech and capturing languid moods to act as agitprop.

There are two bravura shots in The Human Surge... Otherwise, well, it's tough going.

Williams's bewildering, sinuous film encourages us to realise that getting lost is a destination in itself.
July 9, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
There is something exasperating in the way it withholds the pleasures of film from its audience, allowing long stretches to unfold with no lighting and semi-audible dialogue.
July 7, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
Though the picture is admirable on a conceptual level, its execution is incoherent, interminable and a colossal strain on the eyes.

Just when you think you've got the movie pegged, it pulls a daring switch of perspective. While the thrill of that little coup is short-lived, it suggests that Mr. Williams may come up with something more substantial with his next feature.
