Critics consensus

“The Lure adds a sexually charged, genre-defying twist to well-established mermaid lore, more than overpowering its flaws through sheer variety and wild ambition.”

It's got teen romance, misandry, cannibalism, and synchronized dancing - what's not to love?

I thought the movie did such a great job balancing the fantasy elements of the fairy tale with a grittier contemporary setting.

The Lure is one of those perverse, intense, facetious yet perfectly earnest films that never stops having a good time-although its relentlessness means that the viewer might feel inclined to bow out of the festivities every now and then.

The Lure stands also as a cinematic act of love towards Poland’s capital city in the 1980s with its sparkling neon signs, lighthearted nightlife, and ability to knock back gallons of vodka in its best days.
