Reviews

Måker has garnered mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. While some praise the film for its atmospheric cinematography and nuanced performances, others criticize its slow pace and disjointed narrative. 'The film's visual beauty is undeniable, capturing the melancholic essence of the coastal setting with breathtaking precision,' says a review from Metacritic. However, IMDb's rating of 1.9/10 reflects the polarizing nature of Måker, with some viewers finding the film's plot meandering and its character development lacking. Despite its flaws, Måker has a haunting quality that stays with the audience long after the credits roll, leaving them pondering the complexities of human nature and the secrets that lie hidden beneath the surface.
