Ella Around the World - Reviews Round Up


Some great reviews from Ella's first batch of festivals...



'A perfect mix of blood and pathos, the destruction of the nuclear family has never been

more perfectly illustrated (and married to Little Red Hiding Hood tropes!) than in Ella.'

Angie Driscoll, WSFF

'...quite possibly one of the more perverse re-imaginings of Little Red Riding Hood I’ve seen'

Final Girl Project

'Increased attention on cinematography and the gravitas of the veteran thespian go along way towards

making this tale of a man dealing with horror in the family stand out from the pack.'

Exclaim

'...a nearly wordless and intense subversion of the Red Riding Hood story.'

Critizise This

'Haunting and unsettling'

DVD-NIN-CHILE

'...a gloriously messed up Red Riding Hood tale.'
