Community Reviews

Opinions on 'Vivarium' are mixed, with viewers finding the film's concept intriguing and its execution polarizing. Many appreciate the surreal, claustrophobic atmosphere and the thought-provoking societal critique, highlighted by strong performances, especially from Imogen Poots. However, others feel the film's pacing is uneven and its narrative becomes repetitive, with a lack of sufficient explanation for the bizarre events, leaving some viewers dissatisfied and confused by the ambiguous ending.

👍 Intriguing concept and strong performances.

👎 May feel repetitive and under-explained.

Je suis de nature claustrophobe et c’est un genre de film qui ne se déroule dans le même lieu pendant pratiquement tout le film avec les mêmes décors etc. Ça me rend claustro et me donne de l’anxiété parce que j’ai l’impression d’être enfermée avec eux et que je sais que je n’en ressortirais peut-être pas. Je déteste cette sensation et pourtant j’aime bien le fond du film un peu à la « Inception » ou « Shutter Island ».
