Ultimately, "Vic + Flo" becomes both horrific and strangely, surreally beautiful, in a final moment in the afternoon sun. Mar 13, 2014 | Rating: 3/4

It's all very well to toy with genre elements by making incongruous aesthetic and tonal choices and adding an offbeat sensibility. But the director still needs to make us care about his characters. Feb 13, 2014 | Full Review…

It's an ominous, claustrophobic, unhappily sapphic work whose thunderclap of a climax instills terror and awe of the fates' petty, whimsical cruelties. Feb 4, 2014 | Full Review…

The way it unfolds feels less about a conventional story than a series of set-ups and what-next moments in a genre-bender that might be called nature-noir. Nov 22, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

In the end, the genre-bending of "Vic + Flo Saw a Bear" makes way for a grim romanticism. Vic and Flo's fate is simultaneously terrifying and achingly hopeful. Feb 16, 2018 | Full Review…

Even if completely taken at face value, though, Côté pulls no punches by letting you pass your own judgment on those who're left. Jun 21, 2016 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

It's all about love. And neediness. And perhaps the worst possible death you could imagine falling onto deep into the dark woods of Canada. Apr 16, 2014 | Full Review…
