New Strains Ratings & Reviews
InBetweenDrafts
Sarah Vincent
New Strains is Sleeping with the Enemy meets The Stepford Wives without the technology, obvious abuse, or movie stars. Instead of a fastidious neat freak, the husband is a performative health protocol zealot.
But Why Tho?
James Preston Poole
As an art piece, or perhaps a time capsule, the project succeeds. As a film, it barely rises to the occasion.
The Film Verdict
Stephen Dalton
Artemis Shaw and Prashanth Kamalakanthan make inventive use of vintage lo-fi video technology in this slight but charming pandemic rom-com
In Review Online
Ryan Coleman
A tribute to Kamalakanthan and Shaw's love, and treatise on the elastic limits of cinema. These two quite literally had a camcorder and a dream. Now they're proud parents of one of the best films of the Covid era.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
New Strains doesn't only make you take sides between the sometimes ugly coping mechanisms of Kallia and Ram--it also reopens barely-healed wounds you might still be nursing...
Screen Slate
Caroline Golum
A vibrantly contoured alternative to what could have been, in lesser hands, an exercise in dour claustrophobia.
