3/5

Simon Ross’s capable debut can be hung in a gallery of films featuring unnerving paintings, from The Picture of Dorian Gray to Ghostbusters 2 and In the Mouth of Madness.

Akin to lots of the very best ghost stories then, events move slowly, always casting doubt on what is happening, hinting at the contextual problems at play here: families; family legacies; the toxic effects of privilege; the lives of women.

2.5/5

There is an effort here to do something new with this type of heroine, and to give her fresh agency, whilst exploring something of what it is that intrigues many women about the monstrous men in the Gothic.

2.5/5

The Portrait is a film that comes off bland and like something that could have used a bit more something. The film feels like it’s a start of something, but with unfinished ideas and direction that is just content with being just there.

3/5

The Portrait manages to appear as a fresh piece of art thanks to the sum of all its creators within.
