Reviews

Chicago Tribune - Katie Walsh
It may not work for everyone, but those for whom it works will find much to savor and puzzle over in The Turning.
75
IndieWire - Jude Dry
The Turning announces Sigismondi as a bold and adept genre filmmaker, with an eye for detail and impeccable casting choices.
50
Variety - Courtney Howard
Lacking spine-tingling dread, taut tension, and the deservingly provocative ending needed to make its modern sentiments land, this re-imagining is less than a classic.
50
The A.V. Club - Jesse Hassenger
In a movie as utterly lost as The Turning, everything from the performances to the production design to the music cues amount to one big pile of dirty mirrors and doll parts.
40
TheWrap - Dan Callahan
The Turning is not a total loss. There are some stylish, nearly giallo-like sequences and sensitive performances from both Wolfhard and Prince, both of whom look like they could go further with their roles if the script didn’t eventually limit them to reactions in the second half.
