All Critics (66) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (59) | Rotten (7)
While a more allegorical approach may have provided a shallower sense of satisfaction, it is the deliberate ambiguities of Childhood of a Leader that house its lasting, more enduring and inescapably disturbing impact.
The problem with the film is that it promises more than it delivers.
The Childhood of a Leader signals a fascinating new talent in art cinema: the actor Brady Corbet.
Childhood is less a j'accuse than a bad, half-remembered dream about history.
The film, shot in very dark hues, has a sombre power and twisted humour about it that is only accentuated by its elliptical narrative style.
Never dull.
