Reviews

Critically, "Attraction" received a largely mixed to negative reception. On IMDb, it holds a low rating of 3.2 out of 10, indicating a generally unfavorable consensus among viewers. Reviewers commonly pointed out pacing issues and a storyline that some found difficult to engage with. For example, several user reviews cited on IMDb mention that the film's narrative felt disjointed and that characters were underdeveloped, which impacted emotional investment. Professional criticism is limited, but where available, it notes that although the movie attempts to provide a poetic and atmospheric take on human connections, it falls short in maintaining audience interest. The film’s mood and artistic intentions were appreciated by a niche audience, but the overall execution was considered lacking in cohesion and depth. "Attraction" thus remains a film that may appeal primarily to fans of avant-garde or experimental Russian cinema instead of mainstream viewers. No significant ratings or reviews from platforms like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic are found, indicating limited international exposure and critical coverage.
