Josiah Morgan’s review published on Letterboxd:
This movie is incredible. It is not scary; it is not challenging; it is not dense; it is not gripping; it is just innocuous; it moves forward, it shifts, but it never changes, it just snowballs, further and further and further and further into its' own neurotic 80s delusion. Feels like the logical paranoid successor to L'Avventura in every sense: both films are about successful but strained couples, the woman goes missing, the man spends the rest of the movie trying to find her; both films go their own ways after that point but each spend an equally painful amount of time exploring blank loneliness... and both films have startling camerawork, if Antonioni's film likes to remove the camera from the subjects in order to offer a true understanding of that which is being conveyed (his camera is an 'objective' observer offering a 'subjective' reading), then Sluizer's camera truly does take sides: following, haunting, treading, retreading every location.
