8 sourcesSynopsis
A darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up.
Critics consensus
Suspiria attacks heady themes with garish vigor, offering a viewing experience that's daringly confrontational - and definitely not for everyone.
What resonated with audiences
'Suspiria' is a divisive film with strong performances, particularly from Tilda Swinton and Dakota Johnson. Critics praise its ambitious themes, visual style, and haunting score by Thom Yorke. However, some find it overly long, convoluted, and lacking cohesion. The reimagining of the 1977 original is both celebrated and criticized. Modern dance and political contexts in 1970s Berlin are significant departures from the original.
