GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

meddlecore This film is seriously exhausting to try and follow.It is one helluva gory psychedelic mess.I wasn't sure it was going to come around...and I'm not sure it ever really did.Without providing myself a little context going into this...I would have been completely and utterly lost, as to read any meaning into it whatsoever.It seems, a man named Dan Kristensen (Klaus Tange), has returned home to find his wife- Edwige- missing.He starts to wander around his apartment complex, seeking help from the other residents...but they aren't of much assistance.The residents he does happen to meet...seem to tell him their own stories...taking him on a journey through their nightmarish blood-soaked, psychedelic, fantasies.Though, perhaps, these stories are meant to reveal something about his own, hidden, nature.Or...is there just someone in the walls? Either way, he wakes up next to his wife's decapitated head, and thinks a man with a beard is out to kill him.A police officer is assigned to the case, but Dan continues on with his own investigation anyways.The man behind the wall eventually reveals himself to Dan- providing SOME sort of context for a narrative to develop: His wife was part of some game, that caused her to push the limits of her body, in an attempt to discover what was inside, but she only found "Laura". Knowing this secret tormented his wife, so she tried to escape, but was caught..."Where Laura found a new way... Where Laura keeps her secrets...".As you can see, sh*t remains pretty cryptic.There was an earlier point- where Dan was reading a diary that hints at the idea, that Edwige(?) had "discovered someone inside of her", that was, "trying to take control". But it's always noted in the male context.After the man in the wall seems to have been murdered. Dan decides to break through...to see what lies on the other side.This seems to be a journey into his own mind- during which he finally meets Laura- as he witnesses her death.Or is she even dead? Because he soon discovers her again, and this time...the cop shoots her dead.Now, it seems...Laura was the killer, travelling through the walls, discovered by his wife...who succumbed to her, for knowing her secret...that being, that she is also the old lady from apartment number 7.Turns out she killed her husband- and anyone else who knew the secret of her true identity- so that she could have the man of her dreams (Dan) to herself.But then Dan sends her off.And sh*t is still happening.The diary is empty. And so is the photo album- filled with stock photos.In the end, it all seems that this was one man's bizarre, masturbatory, fantasy- possibly originating from him having witnessed his sister- Laura- have her first period, as a child.So f*cking weird.Beautifully shot though.This is constructed like Lynch, and shot like Greenaway.And it is one helluva trip.Great film to watch on acid, for sure.6 out of 10.

willwoodmill The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears is a tribute to Italian Giallo slasher films of the 60s and 70s. The film begins with a man returning to his apartment after he has been away on business for two weeks, only to find that his wife is missing. The man then tries to find his wife. He searches through her stuff calls, the police, and visits a mysterious lady up on the seventh floor of his building. But things take a turn for the worse when he discovers something that has mysteriously appeared in his apartment. The film then becomes a disjointed serious of dream sequences and flashbacks that become increasingly hard to follow. The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears is second film by the Italian horror duo, Hélène Cattet and Bruno Frozani. And let me just say that these two know what they're doing, the film is very well crafted, the blocking and camera work in this is some of the freshest I've seen in any film from the past few years. The cinematography (shot by Manuel Dacosse) is fantastic. The film is vibrantly colorful, has flawless lighting, and does a great job of getting you up close and personal with the characters in the film. The sound design is also insanely good. There's little dialogue in the film, (we get most of the information about the characters through what we see.) but the void the absence of dialogue has made is filled with some of the most detailed and complex sound design I've heard in a horror film. But where The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears succeeds in style, it fails in story. With all of its jumping around, cryptic storytelling, and dream sequences it becomes nearly impossible to follow, (at least towards the end.) and thus the film fails to engage its audience. The story in itself wasn't that great to start with, and they never really add anything onto it, if anything they take away from where the story started by making it so confusing and to make it worse they don't do much to try and make you follow their film. Their are aspects of the story that are really good, (like the back story of the lady on the seventh floor.) but on a whole the story is alright at best, and a muddled mess at worst. While not bad a bad film, The Strange Color of Your Bodies Tears could have been much better than it actually was. Hélène Cattet and Bruno Frozani both definitely have talent, they just need to work on focusing in on a single theme or story, and making it coherent. If they are able to do these two things the film they make will almost definitely be a masterpiece. But for now I'm satisfied with The Strange Color of Your Bodies Tears.5.9

Kyle Gnarly I find myself a bit baffled that so many reviewers chalk this up to artistic nonsense. The best way to approach this film remains simple: this is a throwback to the trippy days of giallo film, with a very, very attentive approach to more than just blood, guts, and gore on the screen. Sure, the audience will easily be able to identify the simplest features from the genre in and of itself--the obsession with eyes, the black leather gloves, the obscene colors for effect--but this gem really includes so much more. This film makes you think. It challenges your preconceived notions of traditional, and let's call it what it is, boring storytelling; in fact, the story itself refuses to follow a linear path, which may cause those that refuse to step outside of their comfort zone a bit of anxiety--then again, that's wonderful, because it's nearly impossible to not feel anxious during this presentation. This film refuses to tiptoe on the wild side like so many others do/did/will continue to do with the thriller genre, and you really must go into this experience knowing you'll be back for more.I remember seeing the directors' entry into the ABCs of Death and found myself infatuated with the cinematography. This film only furthers my appreciation for their contribution to our craft. Pair this with the attention to sound, musically and via effects, and, well, you have The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears.Many of the scenes throughout the film require a second viewing; in fact, I found myself personally stopping the film on multiple occasions to watch given scenes over and over again. The use of color throughout, paired with the fantastic angles and lighting, really does bring on back to the days when Argento reigned supreme. That being said, and the reason this cannot be a full-on 10/10, simply boils down to the directors doing a bit too much in such a short span of time, but I just so happen to enjoy the obscene imagery. I've already recommended this film to practically everyone that I know, and I genuinely suggest you give this one a shot. Any film that I feel Kubrick would even wonder what's going on is solid in my book. Grab a glass of wine, maybe two, after you've seen the opening 10 minutes, and just enjoy yourself. This is what true film is all about. Some will chalk this up to the artsy nonsense that they personally do not enjoy, but I can and continually will stand by this film for breaking from the traditional mold and reinventing the thriller genre in my eyes. The colors, folks... The colors...

Boyd Yes ... Every scene is beautifully lit and designed ... But there isn't one new idea in this boring piece of junk ... At times you feel like you are watching a car advert ... And frankly an adverts length is about all these two could handle well ... They wouldn't know what to do with a character if their lives depended on it ... And wouldn't know a narrative if it bit them on the bum ... NO ... They do not manage to create an alternative surreal dream narrative, though I expect that it what they would try to claim ... That I'm afraid takes imagination and that isn't something you will find here Now don't misunderstand me ... Each scene is shot meticulously ... And would look perfect ( if somewhat lacking in ideas ) as a coffee table book ... As a film it is a complete, vacuous, failure And I would like to point out to the directors, that endlessly refer to their gialli influences, that these lighting effects actually were mainly used in Sword and Sandal/ Fantasy and Horror films in Italy in the late 50s - mid 60s and really were quite rare in gialli
