Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times "Relic" is the feel-dread movie of the year. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 16, 2021 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times The debut feature from writer-director Natalie Erika James functions as both an allegory and a nightmarish descent into this year's creepiest movie home. Rated: 4/5 Feb 16, 2021 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) The more grotesque its imagery, the more tender its twists. Rated: 5/5 Nov 18, 2020 Full Review Anya Stanley Vague Visages A haunting study of Grecian prophecies and inherited mental illness, Relic makes beasts of the mind. Jan 8, 2024 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia Its interior lacks tension or anything shocking in its cadaverous plot about dementia, loneliness and the horror of old age. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/10 Oct 17, 2023 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews An exceptionally well-written, genuinely sad yet realistic story about dementia and how old people are treated once they can't live by themselves anymore. Emily Mortimer, Robyn Nevin, and Bella Heathcote all deliver exceptional performances. Rated: B+ Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Jesús R Boring/shitty/slow/nonsense (women’s) Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review A_ P The ending was really stupid. I had to actually google, “what is with the end of Relic?” The first 20 minutes were okay, but I kept asking myself what the hell is going on here? Yeah, yeah..I get it was a metaphorical movie, but still, no thanks. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Matt M Okay! The parallel world behind the walls was interesting and unnerving. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Adam B Absurd. One of the worst pieces of gibberish I've ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Veronica L Everything happens in the last 20 min Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Nigel O I hate lazy endings. Especially when the movie is constantly in need of an explanation. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
