Reviews
“Twins and trauma collide in the Dutch dark comedy thriller AMNESIA” – Mondo Digital
“AmnesiA Blu-ray delivers stunning video and reference-quality audio in this exceptional Blu-ray release. In addition to AmnesiA, which has been remastered in 4K and looks lovely now, this two-disc set from Cult Epics has two bonus films directed by Koolhoven that are just as intriguing. I particularly enjoyed Suzy Q, which feels like a distant Dutch relative of Amelie. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 4.5 out of 5” – Blu-ray.com
“AmnesiA: Limited Edition is the perfect way to see the early works of both director Martin Koolhoven and Carice Van Houten. You do see a glimpse of Carice Van Houten’s Game of Thrones character when she’s playing with fire. Like a 35mm negative, you’ll want to stick with AmnesiA until the end finally develops.” – Inside Pulse
“Cult Epics deliver another tasty Dutch treat for fans of melancholic psychodramas and dark hearted comedies, well-acted, handsomely shots and well-staged – a definite recommend.” – Mcbastardsmausoleum
“The first feature written and directed by Martin Koolhoven…reveals him as a skillful manipulator of disturbing visual images and a screenwriter adept at sustaining a mood of impending doom… A vision of suppressed fury, lust and violence below the surface of everyday life evokes a disturbing vision of upheaval and chaos under the cracked facade of normality.” – New York Times
