Entertainment Reviews:
It will certainly keep you interested, but the ending lacks the strength to make it work completely. [Full review in Spanish]

Butaca Ancha
Lanthimos's film Dogtooth disturbed and impressed a lot of people, and I doubt his new film ALPS will receive a different reaction.

Rating: 3/4 --
An hour and a half of darkening absurdism.

Boston Globe
3 stars out of 5 -- [I]t's absurdly amusing, rigorously directed...[and] interesting on an intellectual level...
Total Film
Lanthimos’ skill at orchestrating these tense, creepy, shockingly funny setpieces is just as evident here as it was in DOGTOOTH... -- Grade: B-
A.V. Club
Rating: 3/5 --
The movie's morbidly funny once you get the hang of it, and climaxes deftly, but for too long Lanthimos feels like he's stalling for no especial purpose.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Rating: 2/5 --
Lanthimos is such a distinctive film-maker and nothing he does is without interest - but this is a misfire.

Product Description:
DOGTOOTH writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos challenges our perception of reality once again in this darkly comic drama about a mysterious underground group who assist the bereaved in coping with death by temporarily posing as their deceased loved ones. Under the leadership of their coach Mont Blanc (Aris Servetalis), the members of ALPS memorize various phrases spoken by the dearly departed, perfect their distinctive mannerisms, and spend time with their grieving families until the acceptance of loss eventually sets in. Following the sudden death of a talented tennis star, sympathetic hospital nurse and ALPS member Monte Rosa (Aggeliki Papoulia) secretly offers her services to the woman's family. Little does Monte Rosa realize her clandestine work with the deceased athlete's family has put her career with ALPS in serious jeopardy.
