On Becoming a Guinea Fowl

"At once disquieting and deeply absorbing."

"Lucid and incandescently pissed off."

"This is palpably new, future-minded filmmaking, at once intrepidly daring and rigorously poised."

"Despite the dark subject matter, it’s a strikingly funny piece of work."

"Splendidly sardonic."

"If the movie keeps us at a distance, it also knocks us off balance to bracing effect."

"I found myself longing for some outright passion or rage or confrontation."

"A formally daring picture."

"As acerbic as it is unforgiving."

"Visually arresting."

"A film that feels uniquely disquieting."

"A magically transcendent, cunningly funny, and arresting piece of cultural commentary."

"A disquieting, blistering examination of a family where social status trumps blood ties."

"The off-kilter, absurdist vibe of the picture is enchanting, but it’s rooted in deep horror."
