The Gorge
Stream
Two highly trained operatives grow close from a distance after being sent to guard opposite sides of a mysterious gorge. When an evil below emerges, they must work together to survive what lies within.
What critics thought
The Gorge earns genuine warmth from its central romance and the chemistry between Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller, but critics were sharply divided over whether the film's genre-hopping works in its favor or exposes a hollow core. Those who liked it found the sci-fi premise inventive and Derrickson's direction confident; those who didn't felt the pivot from romance to action-thriller squanders everything that made the first half interesting.
“this movie crackles most as a lively pas de deux between Taylor-Joy and Teller, who commendably take their material seriously no matter how seriously ridiculous it gets”
Glenn Kenny·The New York Times
“Even when The Gorge disappears into generic run-and-shoot action, it benefits from the colorful confidence of Derrickson's staging and a '50s-inflected sci-fi score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross”
A. A. Dowd·IGN
“Despite looking like it was based on a video game that your younger brother obsessively plays, The Gorge is in fact an original, or whatever that word means when the plot and aesthetic feel like they've been stitched together from so many other films”
