Despite much anticipation, “Foe” fails to impress critics. Though it has a promising premise, many find the film’s execution and direction of its plot to be shallow and pretentious. Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan were still widely regarded.
“Foe” received a Tomatometer score of 23% and an audience score of 70% on Rotten Tomatoes. See what critics are saying about the film:
- “The actors deserve a medal for babbling so much convoluted claptrap with a straight face. Written and directed by Garth Davis from a 2018 novel I never want to read by Iain Reid, Foe is not just a bad dream. It’s a colossal nightmare.” – Observer
- “Davis, though, is shooting for something far grander: a kind of claustrophobic, The Shining-style psychological horror. Sadly he has neither the script nor the imagination to do this.” – London Evening Standard
A Marital Apocalypse
In “Foe,” Hen and Junior’s decaying marriage mirrors the decaying planet. It serves as a cautionary tale of the vulnerability of human connections when faced with societal and environmental crises.
