IndieWire - David Ehrlich
Verbinski packs so much stuff into his giddy Grand Guignol, and the more he crams in the better it works.

Slant Magazine - Carson Lund
Most gratifying throughout A Cure for Wellness is the moment-to-moment anticipation of where Gore Verbinski will put his camera next.

Movie Nation - Roger Moore
What “Cure” doesn’t do particularly well is introduce a mystery, add menace and heighten suspense in racing towards a conclusion. There’s no “Race” for the “Cure.” Still, it’s just chilling to experience, a novel and thought-provoking take on what ails us and our fruitless search for relief.

The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
The movie’s operatic claustrophobia makes its mark. Cult status beckons.

We Got This Covered - Matt Donato
In its braggadocios final form, genre fans have a unicorn watch that surely won’t be replicated anytime soon. Points for creativity, points for ambition, and points for a studio showing the balls to back provocative genre cinema.
