A satirically surreal sci-fi confuses and confounds streaming crowds

It was inevitable that Vivarium was going to split opinion down the middle when it was released for mass consumption in March 2020, with the first reactions emanating from the premiere at the previous year’s Cannes Film Festival hinting that the surrealist sci-fi psychological horror wasn’t going to be for everyone.

Sure enough, that discord has been reflected in the reactions from critics and audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, Vivarium holds a stellar 72 percent score, but users have downvoted it to a less than impressive 38 percent. On Metacritic, the two sides of the divide are in disagreement once again at a respective 64/100 and 5.2/10, while almost 60,000 IMDb votes have settled on a 5.8/10.
