Surge (2020)

"Karia is a smart film-maker and this is a valuable beginning."

"It's a shame that the screenplay by Rupert Jones and Rita Kalnejais didn't dig further. As a showcase for Karia's talents as a visualist, though, it works."

"As an experiment in steering a potentially tight thriller entirely by one character's irrational whims, it's abrasively compelling..."

"Even though Whishaw is mesmeric, by the end of the 105-minute running time the whole experience starts to feel like being trapped in a broken-down subway car with a violent mental patient."

"Joseph's actions don't build to a satisfying ending the way they needed to for this film to work."

"Whishaw's talent deserves more."

"A very uncomfortable watch that offers a bravura showcase for Ben Whishaw's range."
