Byzantium Movie Review | |
What's really missing is the vampire's tragedy: that ache, the loss of feeling, the sense that in killing death, the essence of what it is to be human is destroyed. Cath Clarke-Time Out I simply have no more room in my life for ennui-besotted vampires. Jordan Hoffman-Film.com Some "vampire stuff" you've seen before, a few new ideas that work, two great performances, and a lot of skilled veterans behind the camera. Scott Weinberg-FEARnet There's good work in here but the climax sadly lacks the emotive punch it's looking for. Martin Roberts-Fan The Fire It's enough to make Stephenie Meyer's ovaries implode. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray A tangle of genre conventions and wayward plotting starts to blunt the film's thematic point. Michael Leader-Film4 Another artfully dull take on vampire lore, one that rather self-consciously tries to outclass Twilight and its ilk, yet still completely fails to be in any way seductive. Alistair Harkness-Scotsman A haunting, touching and visually sublime reinvention of undead mythology. Alan Jones-Radio Times Byzantium is a complex film that combines a traditional gothic horror story (though not one that sticks to traditional vampire law), social history and a realistic account of dealing with authentic physical distress. Philip French-Observer [UK] A slightly frustrating picture: full of brilliant things, but hampered with at least three split personalities. Donald Clarke-Irish Times Unlike the Christopher Lee movies of old, it feels compromised and convoluted, lacking in action, pace and scares as if caught between two sets of fangs in a post-Twilight vacuum. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Nearly 20 years after Interview With the Vampire, Neil Jordan returns to the genre to breath some new life into a mythology that has grown stale, predictable and rather mopey (see Twilight). Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com Director Neil Jordan's return to the vampire genre is bloody and atmospheric, but at heart, it's about a girl who just desperately needs someone to listen to her. Sarah Dobbs-SFX Magazine As a sketch of life on the margins in a tatty seaside resort, it works well enough. As an action pic, though, it's just too slow, too long. David Sexton-This is London This may be one vampire film that has bitten off more than it can devour. The screenplay contains some clunky dialogue and never seems to hit a confident stride. Allan Hunter-Daily Express The only suspense lies in wondering where the next bad line will come from. And little suspense even there. It will come from the next open mouth. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Byzantium doesn't add enough that's new to the genre. I was never bored by it, but I wasn't excited, either. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] Arterton's brash performance is arguably a little high-octane yet it balances with Ronan's wounded watchfulness. And Buffini's script has some savoury moments. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] Lushly shot with colourful waves of emotion as well as darker, whispery horror, this stylised thriller takes a fresh approach to a tired genre. Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall There's more to English Gothic than spurts of gore and heaving cleavage, and though Byzantium has both of those things in happy abundance, it bungles the chance to delve deeper. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph Jordan has crafted a sophisticated Gothic narrative pitched between generic fantasy and more horrific realities. Anton Bitel-Little White Lies Bold, lyrical, visually arresting, with screenwriter Moira Buffini (adapting her own play) imbuing the whole thing with more than a touch of Angela Carter-esque feminism.
