Definitely the best film by Gore Verbinski; Which is also, fortunately, it's the most risky and radical of his career. [Full review in Spanish]

Verbinski inflates a story ready-made for a brisk Gothic shocker into a bloated, self-important mess.

There is tremendous visual craft and inarguable style here, but none of the discipline, the sense of pacing and proportion that would allow the filmmaker's creative instincts to soar rather than merely splutter.

Gore Verbinski's A Cure for Wellness is lurid unto beautiful, exquisite pulp, just barmy enough to attract a cult and just smart enough to deserve it.

It won't be everyone but this is a fairytale meeting grand guignol for the multiplex crowd.

[The] poor ending felt like a betrayal, since it wrenches A Cure for Wellness fully out of its original genre and into melodrama.

Somewhere around the middle of the film, one begins to realize it probably isn't going any place worthwhile.

A project by the director of Pirates of the Caribbean, which includes elements as scabrous as incest, bizarre sex and gory scenes, doesn't deserve to be completely dismissed. [Full review in Spanish]

Seems to last forever and, when it finally ends, leaves a sour aftertaste of overproduced, overblown schlock.

No menacing corridor goes unexplored and no mood is left unteased in this glossily atmospheric thriller where the 1 per cent have their own issues to worry about.

At 90 minutes it could have been an eerie, tricky, well-crafted thriller. At two hours its wheels start to fall off. And then it continues to limp along for another 30 minutes, after which you wonder what the point of it all was in the first place.
