It is hard not to recommend anything starring Rogowski, an actor so unique in approach and delivery that I always relish the opportunity to see him in a major role. I wouldn’t necessarily go so far as to say that he saves Luzifer entirely, but he certainly makes it watchable.

Maria and her mentally impaired adult son Johannes live in a secluded hut in the Alps. However, when a new ski resort development threatens their isolated way of life, Maria and Johannes must find a way to preserve their ritual traditions in the face of advancing modernity.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The Playlist by Charles Bramesco
Brunner puts his ability to invest anything and everything with a malevolent charge to chillingly effective use.
The New York Times by Isabelia Herrera
Its intellectual aspiration produces an ideologically crowded film, where each philosophical meditation struggles to receive the attention and depth it deserves. Perhaps that is the point: Brunner seems to want to leave us with more questions than answers — or at least, compel us to search for the devil in everything.
Los Angeles Times by Noel Murray
Brunner does a fine job of conveying how the harsh, forbidding landscape where Johannes and Maria live distorts the way they engage with the secular world.
The Film Stage by Rory O'Connor
Brunner’s doom-metal vibe isn’t always easy on the eye, and while images in Luzifer shiver with portent as early as the opening frames–all muck, rain, and knackered-looking bodies––there is a clarity from cinematographer Peter Flinckenberg that saves it from being too sullen.
