Reviews

Myths received generally unfavorable reviews from critics and audiences alike, reflected in its low IMDb rating of 3.6/10. Many reviewers acknowledged the film's ambitious thematic intentions but criticized its execution. Critics from various platforms highlighted that while Myths attempts to tackle deep philosophical questions, it suffers from a convoluted narrative structure and lack of engaging character development. For example, user reviews on IMDb pointed out pacing issues and a difficulty in connecting with the storyline, resulting in a disengaged viewing experience. There is little presence of the film on major aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, which often implies limited critical coverage or consensus. Those who appreciated Myths noted the film's atmospheric and artistic qualities but commonly concluded that these elements were insufficient to elevate the film beyond a niche art-house curiosity. Overall, the reception underscores the film as more of an experimental piece than a commercially or critically successful production.
