Critics' reviews

"Arrebato is an arresting feat of self-aware filmmaking, lashing together experimental tendencies with the tropes and trappings of genre cinema."

Budd Wilkins: Slant
"Arrebato is an unnerving and enthralling fetish empowered by its hedonism"

Jacob Oller: Paste Magazine
"Arrebato invokes cinema as an otherworldly entity that possesses, just as addictive and destructive as mind-altering substances injected into the bloodstream."

Carlos Aguilar: rogerebert.com
Arrebato is enigmatic and stunning, but it can also slow to a glacial pace in its methodical intricacies (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Meagan Navarro: Bloody Disgusting
