Reviews:
” …Mortal somewhat exceeds expectations. It is better than most Hunger Games clones but lacks the style of the better good-looking, youthful films in the genre (such as Equals). It’s totally watchable, but you should definitely revisit “Obsolete Man” sometime soon. For teens who still think dystopia is new…” J.B. Spins
” …a promising, philosophical and socially critical film that deals with the question of whether the dream of a sheltered, immortal life is worth leading it as a completely emotionless empty shell without self-determination […] Despite an interesting topic, the staging of the highlights is unfortunately not particularly successful and the lack of tension and logic errors mean that the film only ends up in being mediocre…” Movie Break 5.5/10 [Translated from German]
