Omen Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
S. Nicole Lane
Mixing folklore and tradition, the film carries us through the damage of being misunderstood with breathtaking scenes that leave us afraid and mesmerized.
RogerEbert.com
Peyton Robinson
"Omen" is a visually enthralling piece of magical realism proposing ideas on pariahs, culture, and individuality in a world with constantly changing rules.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Both culturally specific and universally resonant, this haunting drama powerfully scrutinizes oppressive belief systems with visually striking surrealism that remains grounded in moral complexity and emotional authenticity.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
The powerful forces of family and fable, old and new, intertwine and vie for supremacy in Belgian-Congolese director Baloji's visually striking debut.
The Film Stage
Ethan Vestby
The film gradually becomes more confident in its time- and space-traveling, encompassing something greater than its seeming initial intent.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Makes up for any narrative patchiness with a bevy of unforgettable images and an attendant sense of ancient beliefs and rituals that divide as much as they unite.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Despite the distressing nature of its story, the compassion of Omen becomes its defining characteristic.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
The film's frenetic world-building eventually becomes numbing, in part because the uneven human dramas - each one offers a vague message about marginalization - lose momentum in all the commotion.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A mesmerizing, elliptical and poignant slice of psychological horror and surrealism
Slant Magazine
William Repass
The patchwork structure is suited to the complexity a setting where characters switch between languages depending on who they want to keep in the dark. Yet it's hard to shake that there are too many threads for a film of this length to do them justice.
High on Films
Debopriyaa Dutta
Omen reflects the ever-evolving vignettes of prejudice-based ostracization via a specific socio-cultural lens, embracing its complexity like a well-tuned prism and scattering the refracted images of the lives that are and could have been.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
The film is vibrant, teaming with energy, creatively put together, and honest in its depiction of this place caught between old beliefs and modern concerns.
Variety
Guy Lodge
"Omen" announces its writer-director as an artist of significant formal imagination and daring, unafraid to put standard narrative legibility at risk in favor of intuitive sensory suggestion.
Awards Daily
Frank J. Avella
Baloji takes his own Belgian-Congolese heritage and channels it into a truly beguiling, edgy and haunting cinematic work that blends magical realism with domestic drama and horror.
ButteredPopcorn
Carson Timar
Omen is an ambitious film that is worthwhile in style and perspective.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
For a debut feature, Omen is a remarkable accomplishment and a thrilling glimpse into the work of a truly visionary filmmaker who no doubt has many more films to come.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
While I didn't love this too-experimental and surreal film, I certainly appreciate what the director's gift for mind-bending visual flair, and the hallucinatory qualities of the film perfectly complement its overall unsettling feel.
Film Inquiry
Lee Jutton
It is an undeniably beautiful film that is a prime showcase for Baloji's talents as a visual storyteller, even as it winds to what feels like a rushed and ultimately somewhat unsatisfying conclusion.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Kinetic and full of promise.
IndieWire
Arjun Sajip
The director's gift for unpacking the way notions of witchcraft can function as fig leaves for trauma, combined with his obvious eye for costumes, lighting, and framing, make for a visually striking, deeply compassionate, and memorable debut.
