"Luz: The Flower of Evil" is a film that lets you bring your own thoughts and ideas to make the experience richer. It beautifully delves into the darker aspects of religion and obsession. I personally loved it but I see how it is not for all moviegoers.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Such a slow movie, nothing happens. I don't know how it has this score. I wouldn't recommend. It has better scores than Hereditary, and Hereditary it's much much much better

Luz: The Flower of Evil is a strong mixtue of philosophy and hyper-realism that fires on all cylinders at all times.

Beautiful and traumatic. Anyone who tells you they fully understand the movie and its message is lying to you. One of those movies that speak to people in different ways, but everyone can get something from it. Also if you are looking for nicely wrapped up story lines look elsewhere.

The Witch meets Midsommar, meets The Tree of Life meets Jodorowsky. Pretty much a win

I might have to rewatch it again, but it is so filled with metaphors and symbols. Very unique, specially in the horror and genre scene. A breathe of fresh air. This will became a cult film for sure.

Little White Lies

a mannered parable of faith in which the human condition proves as mysterious (and resilient) as the cycles of nature.

A film that relies on the viewer's own views and interpretations to enrich the viewing experience, Luz: The Flower of Evil offers a beautiful exploration of the darkest side of religion and obsession.

Butaca Ancha

As in The VVitch, Luz's main family is being consumed. There is a general confusion, which is transmitted to the audience --including voice-overs close to poetic reflection-- and that, without a doubt, will not be for everyone.

Rated: 3/5
