Border Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
I found this compelling as I watched it, though I don't feel I gained much from the experience.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Maybe best to think of it as a chilly Scandinavian bedtime tale, the type to unsettle bothersome children and leave them identifying with the ogre.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
"Border" brings to horror-fantasy the same Swedish sensibility that "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" brought to crime thrillers. Welcome to the land of eternal night.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Director and co-writer Ali Abbasi's film is a murky, unsettling watch - but however unsettling, it remains gripping and affecting, its viscerality covering for its occasional elisions.
Film Comment Magazine
Devika Girish
Border is less invested in glib symbolism or political commentary than in the specific, felt experience of being adrift between social boundaries and categories.
Riot Material
Kristy Puchko
Border is so dark, bizarre, and yet sentimental that its very existence feels like a miracle.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
The film's slow reveal of its fantastical elements, which evoke the erratic, dreamlike strangeness of folk tales, makes them all the more unsettling.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Even the most open-minded viewers may have difficulty relating to the two lead protagonists in Border, a cynical Swedish romantic-fantasy.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
"Border" may not be everyone's idea of a fun night out, but it takes you to places you won't forget, and that's nothing to sniff at.
NPR
Glen Weldon
One of the biggest risks Border takes is in the deliberateness with with it slow-walks Tina's journey to self-realization.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The refreshingly offbeat, sturdily handled "Border" is not just unlikely to resemble any of its subtitled competition but also anything else you'll see this year.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
In Tina, she has crafted a central character that's easy to appreciate, and often fascinating, but hard to like, and equally often deliberately off-putting. Which is also a fair description of Border.

Leonard Maltin
John Ajvide Lindqvist's new film is a dark, twisted fairy tale that is worth watching so long as you know that it's no Disney fable-and it is definitely not for children.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
As cold as possible is a good way to see it. This is a movie that aims to startle in overt and subtextual ways; the less known before viewing, the better.
AV Club
Katie Rife
Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes Border.
L.A. Weekly
Bilge Ebiri
While the film does take some twists and turns - some fairly contrived - it mostly drills down and explores her emotional conundrum without drawing symbolic conclusions about the world we live in.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
It's creepy and disturbing and freaky, with enough room to find whatever subtext you're looking for.
Salon.com
Gary M. Kramer
This supernatural romantic thriller constantly shifts genres, but its slow burn approach keeps things intriguing. Abbasi establishes and maintains an unusual, internal logic that will satisfy viewers who go along with every strange twist.
Variety
Alissa Simon
An exciting, intelligent mix of romance, Nordic noir, social realism, and supernatural horror that defies and subverts genre conventions.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
[It] builds out such an unusual premise that it risks devolving into quirky inanity, but Abbasi grounds the narrative in an emotional foundation even as it flies off the rails.
