2.5/5
Steven Mihaljevich's film builds a story that establishes a thin line between reality and hallucinations that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Full review in Spanish. Go to Full Review

A nightmarish modern fairy tale that the Perth filmmaker presents in pitch black shadows, rich primary colours and brilliantly-realised bleakness. Go to Full Review

Diana S Nov 18 While I found this movie fairly derivative and heavy-handed with dark Wizard of Oz imagery, which I dare say has become passe at this point in the process, it's better than most of the tripe out there and totally worth watching. For my money though, if I had to choose, I'd take Bring Her Back over this. See more Suzi A Aug 3 I may be biased as I was in the movie as ‘the lady down the street’ however when I read the script Steven J Mihaljevich sent me I knew I was a part of a masterpiece from this man’s mind. I was privileged to have been a part of this movie. The story may seem slow at first but Steven is just stoking the fires and as the story evolves you are hooked. It is a well written story with a head punching finale, a bit like being smacked in the head. This movie is anything but predictable with a fantastic cast and crew giving their all. The ‘horror’ genre may put some off, but it is not the norm… suspenseful, sad, manic, peeking into the mind of a broken woman. Watch and see for yourself. See more Hamed B Jul 12 Steven Mihaljevich is a genius! The way he weaves the story together is pure magic. The cast is perfection! They bring so much depth and emotion to their characters, you'll be feeling all the feels. What I love most about Violett is how it balances the light and dark moments. It's real, it's raw, and it's relatable. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be left thinking about the characters long after the credits roll. See more Matty B Jul 1 It’s a rare feat to manage such a quality film on a low budget. Very well acted. Looks great. Compelling slow-burn psychological horror that’s worth the watch. Found myself thinking about it for days afterwards. Also, love the music. See more Isaiah s Jun 26 Devastating. Art house horror at it best See more Marina M 01/21/2025 Macabre and deeply eerie exploration of the human psyche. It evokes the kind of nightmares you’d rather forget. Though the pacing was a bit slow at the start, every scene unfolds at exactly the right moment, pulling you deeper into her mind. The storytelling, performance and cinematography make you feel her emotions very vividly. This is one of those films that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. It carries a haunting quality that reminds me of the psychological tension crafted in films such as Shutter Island. A masterclass in atmosphere and emotion, Violett is a must watch for those who crave a slow burn film with profound depth! See more Read all reviews
