This is a hard thing to pull off on-screen, but Larraín does a terrific job of conjuring up Ema's somewhat alternate reality. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire Sep 26, 2026

Slow to the point of inertia yet salvaged by consistent curiosity, Larraín captures most of the series in a desaturated daze. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Sep 30, 2026
My Sad Dead is definitely creepy and strange, and a little hard to wrap your mind around at first, but it’s also a raw and unsparing look at death and mental illness. Go to Full Review Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror Sep 28, 2026
4/5
...Mercedes Morán and Carolina Sánchez Álvarez absolutely steal the show, but the plot itself is fascinating enough to keep me watching. Those two just sell it extremely well to me, which is why I could not... Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Sep 24, 2026
4/5
You can tell that Larrain tried to include as many of those disparate, morbid ideas as possible in these four episodes, creating a funereal mood board of a project that is totally unlike most things you’ve ever seen. Go to Full Review Janire Zurbano Cinemanía (Spain) Sep 23, 2026
3.5/5
It demands commitment, patience, and critical thinking, and we have no choice but to call it elevated horror. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ruthie C @Ruthie839 4 days ago It's more tragic magical realism than traditional horror. That said, I don't think anyone used to foreign/art films (especially from Latin America) would be all that surprised/put off. I'd ultimately give it something like 7/10, although it probably would have worked better as a 2.5 hour movie. See more Read all reviews
