Caryn James Hollywood Reporter Naomi Jaye has taken the unpromising story of a soft-spoken young librarian and turned it into a small wonder of a film, eloquent and captivating. Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Emily Gagne Dread Central The same sort of tenderness Sarah Polley channeled when making the criminally underrated 'Take This Waltz.' Rated: 3/5 Aug 10, 2024 Full Review Josh Korngut Exclaim! A somewhat fresh and strange character study worth watching for audiences with the right threshold for arthouse vagueness. Rated: 6/10 Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer The Film Experience This film never manages to figure out what it’s truly meant to be about, instead remaining fixated on a mystery that carries through without every truly resolving itself. There’s plenty of intrigue to be found en route to a middling finish. Rated: C+ Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Darkest Miriam makes use of absurdist humour to explore the sense of unreality that…bereavement can create. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Matthew Simpson That Shelf If Darkest Miriam has a flaw, it might be that at 90 minutes, it feels a little too long. Still, the film is well-acted and beautiful, so this is a minor complaint. Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
