Reviews

  • "For those who prefer their cinema uncompromising and with integrity galore there may not be a more must-see film in 2024."
    Richard Propes, TheIndependentCritic.com
  • "A chilling, slow-burn experience that keeps your mind in a frenzy."
    Tony Asankomah, GhMovieFreak
  • ""Solvent" hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s a plunge into our collective monstrosity worth taking."
    Stephanie Malone, Morbidly Beautiful
  • "Grenzfurthner once again defies expectation and showcases his singular talent for blending humor, horror, and historical critique."
    Nicolás Delgadillo, Knotfest
  • "Solvent is a remarkably effective horror odyssey that takes us down a path of madness and refuses to let us go until the very gruesome and gory end."
    Alejandro Turdó, Hoy Sale Cine
  • "Johannes Grenzfurthner's Solvent is a wild escapade to hell and back, delivering one of the most shocking features in a year full of shock value."
    Connor Petrey, Pop Culture Leftovers
  • "Grenzfurthner builds the seemingly simple horror tale of Solvent upon layers of ideas that will take time to unpack."
    Bradley Gibson, Film Threat
  • "The brilliance of Solvent rests on how deeply uncomfortable yet essential it is as a cinematic experience, daring to dive deeper into the turgid waters of wretched, poisonous ideology."
    Debopriyaa Dutta, High on Films
  • "Solvent is one of those films that sticks with you."
    Surya Komal, Just for Movie Freaks
  • "This deliriously witty, yet highly discomforting film is a wry look at modern society's derangement. What follows defies categorization."
    Brandon Judell, Medium
  • "The multiple layers and subtext in Solvent alone make it worth a watch, and adding the bizarre visuals, creepy locations and contagious psychosis are the icing on the cake."
    Tracy Allen, PopHorror.com
  • "An undeniably fascinating and frightful experience that makes truly creative use of modern and classic filmmaking techniques to make its points."
    Evan Dossey, Midwest Film Journal
