What to Know

Critics Consensus

Luz takes a refreshingly unique approach to horror possession tropes, elevated by a chilly mood and minimalist scares.

The movie knows what it's doing, whatever it's doing. Go to Full Review David Edelstein New York Magazine/Vulture Jul 19, 2019
If Luz had been a play, I'd probably have walked out halfway through, but as a film I found it eerie enough to stay rooted. Go to Full Review Carlos Aguilar Los Angeles Times Jul 19, 2019
It'll render you unexpectedly rattled. Go to Full Review Kyle Logan Cultured Vultures Feb 17, 2026
A fascinatingly staged possession horror movie that plays a Brechtian game with its setting and storytelling. Go to Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia Aug 1, 2020
7/10

B+

Kevin L @Lakeman Oct 12, 2025 Some style over questionable substance. See more Diana S @DianaWho Aug 9, 2024 Experimental, opaque, and weird, which is my jam, though it's not everyone's. See more Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 Mar 24, 2024 Slow and vague but intriguing and creepy enough to make it mildly interesting until it becomes a completely distorted mess without explanation.
