Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: The Plague is an effective demonstration of the dynamics that can play out in a competitive environment that also includes a group that has yet to develop into fully-rounded people. It features discomfort on multiple levels, marking an auspicious debut for Polinger.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: an unsettling portrait of the cruelty inflicted by children trying to carve out their positions in society and Polinger’s stylish debut makes him a filmmaker to watch.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: I’d argue it’s better to let the metaphor live rather than allude to its existence. The message gets lost when you try to straddle that line by giving audiences both simultaneously. It seeks to merely use genre trappings, not be a genre film.
- Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Com dezenas de filmes de terror vistos este ano, este drama é o mais provável de me causar pesadelos.
- [New] | Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Maxance Vincent @ The Cinema Spot
- Excerpt: No movie currently made in my lifetime has accurately depicted the horrors (and lasting psychological trauma) of bullying quite like Charlie Polinger’s The Plague.
