  10 Cloverfield Lane runs like clockwork. Beginning with a simple, Hitchcockian setup (complete with a Herrmann-esque score that kicks all sorts of ass), Dan Trachtenberg's debut feature lays out its mysteries like a jigsaw puzzle, building up the inner geography of the main location while allowing a few pieces to go missing, ratcheting up tension as a result. As an economical narrative, it's flawless, playing with rich, interesting characters in an enclosed space, and every frame is still, watching and planning the next move. It's a claustrophobic pot boiler oozing with riddles, and the conclusion, while feeling somewhat reminiscent of a studio stumbling in all "Night of the Living Dead" like with their profit-minded egos, feels part of a…

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★½ 5

  the ultimate in having your cake and eating it too.

  i was completely fascinated by this movie, and actually watching it did nothing to dilute my interest or enthusiasm. the way this thing slides into its third act is *sublime,* and Winstead / Gallagher / Goodman all kill it.

  10 CLOVERFIELD LANE could be the film industry's Beyoncé moment.

  hello lovelies! i’m not marking this review as containing spoilers, because i want to say some things that are very important to me, much as in my review of the master. but! i will be talking about the ending of this film in detail, so please be forewarned. and make no mistake: THE ENDING IS ESSENTIAL. content warning for lots of discussion of abuse.

  the central uncertainty here isn't, as a lot of people have thought, ‘is howard abusive or is he telling the truth?’. if it were, then yes, the title would be a spoiler. howard may be telling the truth, but he is most certainly abusive, and is so for the entire duration of the film. he expects gratitude,…

  57/100

  One "what if?" too many for me, I'm afraid. Went in tabula rasa and was totally down with "What if you were abducted by a lunatic survivalist who thinks there's been some sort of deadly civilization-ending attack?" Had no trouble rolling with "And then what if the lunatic survivalist is right and there really has been some sort of deadly civilization-ending attack?" But when the time came for "And then also in addition to that stay with me now what if your initial suspicion that the dude just likes to abduct young women and keep them trapped in his bunker for his amusement turns out to also be true, and whatever nightmare is happening outside is essentially irrelevant because…

  Review by Evan ★★★★ 6

  John Goodman is by far the best character actor of this generation. There is no character that this man cannot play and execute to perfection.

  Claustrophobic, intense, and thrilling 10 Cloverfield Lane will not only keep you guessing from start to finish, but it also keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire run-time. Both John Goodman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead deliver convincing and authentic performances. What I liked most is that Mary Elizabeth's character isn't an idiot; she is actually very smart and and puts things together. Usually this isn't the case for this type of film.

  If not for the last 5-10 minutes this would be a 4.5/5. I'm still very indifferent on the ending.…
