Berlin Syndrome

...the film creates the kind of tension that sucks the very air from the cinema.

...a complex battle of wills, full of compelling character dynamics, psychological nuance, great filmmaking and high-voltage tension.

...Shortland crafts her characters and finds space in the muddling of seduction and terror. She examines the intensity of human interactions and how the fine line between our joy and deep insecurity can spiral out of control.
