Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein movie reviews are highly positive

Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein has received strong reviews from critics, with many praising the director for the film’s visuals. 

Writing for The Daily Beast, Nick Schager described the film as a “gargantuan, grotesque, and grief-stricken opus.” He added, “A tortured saga of fathers and sons, hubris and humility, and enslavement and free will, the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s horror epic is as visually opulent as it is emotionally rich, a nightmare drenched in fury and sorrow.”

Schager further highlighted Oscar Isaac’s portrayal of Dr. Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi’s performance as the creature, calling the adaptation “thrillingly, monstrously alive.”

Jamie Graham of Empire described the film as “resolutely performed by all” and “the passion of its creator.” He praised del Toro’s attention to gothic detail, calling the production “a big film with a huge beating heart.” 

For Rolling Stone, David Fear highlighted the striking visuals of the film. He wrote, “But for all its stylistic brio and an overall mesmerizing look, in which even throwaway visuals (like the icy corpse of a soldier frozen to his battlefield steed) sear themselves into your memory, Frankenstein remains the simple, direct story of a man and his nonbiological offspring.”

Fear described the monster as “a frightened newborn babe, scared and curious and desperate for human affection.”
