review

Tim Geyer wrote on the film website critic.de: “Vinyan has a disturbing effect, which the director Fabrice Du Welz does not with clumsy showmanship, but with the dark beauty of his pictures, which impressively depict the drama of a mother.” Du Welz does "Many borrowings from classic horror cinema, but always with the aim of bringing the psychosomatic insights into Jeanne Bellmer's inner life."

The film review meta page Rotten Tomatoes counted a total of 10 positive and 9 negative reviews of Vinyan as of October 2017 ; only 31% of the users of the site liked the film.
