Marionette tells the story of a therapist, who loses her grip on reality when a ten-year-old boy claims he can control her future.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The Guardian by Ellen E Jones

A third-act plot twist is audacious enough to regain our attention, but Reuten and Wolf don’t quite have the charisma to fully carry it off.

Original-Cin by Liam Lacey

As a study in mutual traumatic grief between doctor and patient, Marionette has some resonance, but the emotional core of the story is smothered by its irritating intellectual pretensions and altogether too much wood paneling.

Movie Nation by Roger Moore

Marionette is a perfectly-gloomy but overly-subdued Scottish thriller pretty much wholly undone by a contorted “twist” that derails its third act.
