Superposition

This internationally praised slowburn thriller-drama is not really a horror film, so don't be fooled. For me it's another boring, slow and uninteresting crap that pretends to be a clever mindfuck. The story focuses on a couple who leave the city for an isolated forest thinking they'll enjoy a quiet life alone, only to soon discover they're not entirely alone – I can't reveal more. In the first half I was still quite, it has such a disturbing atmosphere and the clash itself is quite interesting, but after that the film goes nowhere. Visually it's also a pretty cheap piece of work, the acting is bland, the pacing is slow, so it's not rewarding for the audience, and there's no violence, suspense or anything downright escalating either. Too bad, the Danes can definitely do better. 4/10. (20.07.2023)

A nicely conceived premise that they unfortunately failed to fully exploit. The acting and directing are rather bland and they let that potentially powerful, cynical twist the film was clearly heading towards to slip through their fingers, and instead, the film eventually fizzles out into nothingness.

An excellent metaphor for the successful restart of a languishing relationship! We simply have to kill something inside of us and carry on with new versions of ourselves. Karoline Lyngbye's technical handling of the film could be made into a phenomenal invention. When, before the screening, the director acknowledged her admiration for the films of David Lynch and Villeneuve‘s Enemy (his best film, in my opinion), dealing with a split personality, no one in the room could have anticipated just how close she would take us to their level. Her Superposition is a psychologically refined schizophrenic work in which everyone who has live through the disintegration of a relationship will see themselves. [Sitges Film Festival] (15.10.2023)
