The Stoker Ratings & Reviews
The List
Hannah McGill
Stange, dark and clever, with a sense of Rabelaisian excess and moral murkiness that's tempered by an ambiguous but unexpectedly forceful moral message, the film address personal responsibility, cruelty and creativity in shady times ...
CineVue
Patrick Gamble
Combines the stilted jet black comedy of Jim Jarmusch and Aki Kaurismaki with a decisively Russian sensibility, to create a fascinating deconstruction of post-Soviet society.
ViewLondon
Matthew Turner
Blackly comic, deceptively deadpan Russian drama that's both surprisingly moving and contains moments of genuinely shocking violence ...
Sight & Sound
Michael Brooke
The experience becomes unnervingly intoxicating.
Empire Magazine
David Parkinson
A potent black comedy with the gentle touch of a razor blade.
Little White Lies
David Jenkins
Fits all the richness and lurid eccentricity of a Scorsese gang epic into 83 pocket-sized minutes.
Guardian
Peter Bradshaw
It's full of idiosyncratic, almost suicidal directorial choices - a noodly guitar score, inexpressive, doll-like actors - yet weirdly cuts to the heart of a country that's been taken over by such unlovely characters.
