A Lovecraftian fairytale. A seaside horror.
Evolution is both of those things and more. It is a beautifully made tone poem, an atmosphere-driven experience that left me with an uncanny feeling that I couldn’t shake once it ended. None of its mysteries are overtly explained, nothing is handed to the viewer. Like the best of cinema, this is a piece that you simply “feel” your way through. It is greatly rewarding and simply unforgettable.

Masterfully directed by Lucile Hadžihalilović, Evolution is a small gem that is unmissable.
