Critics Consensus

Vivarium may confound almost as often as it intrigues, but this well-acted sci-fi/horror hybrid has interesting ideas -- and explores them with style.

Becca James Chicago Reader Vivarium's purgatory is more clear-cut, though that somehow doesn't make it any less mysterious... Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times The story comes to a flawless punchline at almost exactly 27 minutes. The snag is that Vivarium has more than an hour still to run... Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2020 Full Review A.A. Dowd AV Club Domesticity sucks the life out of everyone. But it's thin thematic reward for seeing the wheels behind this performer's eyes grind to a halt. Rated: C+ Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Ethan Gordon InSession Film Even though the two tried, they couldn't overcome a script that feels both apparent and undercooked. A good idea or two can only get you so far it seems. Rated: C Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Vivarium is a surprising and unique film that inspires reflection on the nature of reality and the struggle for freedom in an increasingly homogeneous and controlled world. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET Vivarium is an interesting one. It might frustrate a lot of viewers with its surreal aspects, but it's still a compelling film. Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

martijn s This movie left me with a real 'WTF' mindset. However, it didn't entertain me in the end. There was not a moment that gave me a realization about what was going on, leaving you feel blank. You end up relying on comments to get some clarification. If you want to watch something that will freak you out, this movie is for you, but don't expect much else. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Brook D This is possibly the worst movies I've ever seen. It is pretentious and dull after the first half hour. I kept awaiting some type of satisfaction (especially since I love the actors and have an affinity for this genre). Nope, I actually was mad that I wasted my time watching it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review suha a Would not recommend this movie to anyone. Labeled a horror movie yet not one scary scene. Tried to engage the audience with an intriguing concept but fails after idk 20 fing minutes. This movie is two hours long and for some reason a bunch of critics rated it high yet the regular audience rated it a 39% let that sink in. It’s rated low for a reason so don’t waste two hours of your life this movie has no explanations no passion no engaging plots and definitely no horror. Waste of time I want two hours of my life back right now. I wish there a no star button Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Angel N Left me with more questions that will never be answered. Depressing Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Arlen B Interesting premise and an ending that is unexpected. I enjoyed it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Leah R It was capturing at first glance. It was not hard to guess the premise and I did enjoy the concept. What I did not enjoy was how we got zero information about the “others” that were not Tom and Gemma. I suppose that is intentional but it made for a story that was a tad dull. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
