The Guardian
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. - 50
Original-Cin
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. - 42
The Playlist
Marionette is a bit less than the sum of its individual parts. Still, for the first half of its runtime, the film is sufficiently compelling. - 38
Movie Nation
Marionette is a perfectly-gloomy but overly-subdued Scottish thriller pretty much wholly undone by a contorted “twist” that derails its third act.
