Maremma movie review: what critics say (5)
What critics say Critics are largely negative: 0 of 5 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 4 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the performances, the visuals and the emotion.
Maremma has a decent core with some intrigue. However, the commercial trapping and its execution are where things go wrong. The second half, especially, is extremely difficult to sit through.

Read the full reviewWith Maadhav's expressionless performance, weak narration and ineffective humour, Maremma, set in 2006, ultimately turns into a tedious watch.
Read the full reviewBava Bava is the only decent song from the movie. The title track is also impressive. The songs and the background score are decent. The cinematography, art and editing are quite poor throughout the film.
Read the full reviewMaremma is a boring rural drama that lacks a clear sense of vision. The film remains dull and unexciting for most of its runtime, and there are hardly any memorable moments to talk about.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.

What we know
In a village bound by ancient traditions, the Maremma Goddess festival is a time of both reverence and fear. Every 12 years, a male bull is sacrificed to the deity, yet with each ceremony, calamity befalls the villagers. Despite their efforts, the elders fail to prevent disaster. Determined to break the cycle, they enact a new decree: any household whose bull bears a male calf in the next 100 days must offer it to the goddess. As the deadline approaches, the fate of the village hangs in the balance, and the true test of their resolve begins.
