Critics Consensus: Vivarium may confound almost as often as it intrigues, but this well-acted sci-fi/horror hybrid has interesting ideas -- and explores them with style.

Reviews

The Screen

Akos Peterbencze

Starting with its pivotal opening sequence of a cuckoo pushing out hatchlings from their nest to claim it as its own, Lorcan Finnegan’s feature knows exactly what it’s doing and it uses every tool at its disposal to deliver us to a devastating conclusion.

Even though the two tried, they couldn't overcome a script that feels both apparent and undercooked. A good idea or two can only get you so far it seems.

Vivarium is an interesting one. It might frustrate a lot of viewers with its surreal aspects, but it's still a compelling film.

Eisenberg and Poots are two of this generation’s most talented actors. Their committed performances allow for the audience to empathise with their experience... at 97 minutes, Finnegan’s tightly-wound script and premise do not overstay their welcome.

Even as the film bangs on some familiar thematic drums (Suburbia is terrible. Marriage is hard. Raising a kid is even harder), the performances remain strong. I just wish the characters weren’t such hard nuts to crack.
