Based on 10 reviews, The Untamed gets an average review score of 72
The Untamed does that very rare thing in cinema in that it blends mystery, horror and pseudo-reality with a kind of dark subconscious arousal.

The director’s strength is in crafting fully drawn, sympathetic characters you root for — a big accomplishment when they have to compete for audience attention with a sex monster.
3024d ago
It pulls off the difficult trick of integrating an alien creature into a fully realized narrative of sexual dissatisfaction.
3024d ago
Instead, “The Untamed” plays like an acknowledgement that the hiddenness, the private nature of sexuality is also part of its power.
3024d ago
Mr. Escalante is an exceptionally deft and subtle realist, and you sometimes feel, in “Heli” and even more so in The Untamed that he is drawn to extremity partly out of boredom with his own skill.
3024d ago
Amat Escalante’s “The Untamed” is a movie about that beast called lust, specifically the way it can be equally irresistible, all-consuming, and dangerous.
3024d ago
This is a fascinating and outrageous next step for Escalante, with a strong central concept and some oozily plausible special effects. It’s just a pity that its human side doesn’t measure up to its inhuman one.

Mexican director Amat Escalante, who won the Cannes Best Director, honors for his previous film, 'Heli,' explores misogyny and homophobia in his latest feature, which has a sci-fi twist.
3024d ago
Mexican director Amat Escalante follows his award-winning Heli with a deeply strange story of orgasmic frenzies and family dysfunction.
3024d ago
Amat Escalante's follow-up to 'Heli' meshes domestic realism and erotic sci-fi to intriguing but incomplete effect.
