“The highs are very high. From Badler’s commanding performance that contributes to the uneasy atmosphere Vida expertly curates to the stomach-churning sequences of body horror, there is undeniable greatness here.” -Kyle Logan, SCREEN ANARCHY
“Wrestling complex themes around control and gendered perception into a genuinely disturbing film that delivers, Trim Season is beautifully realized and confident filmmaking.” -Caitlyn Downs, SCARED SHEEPLESS
“Vida brings a unique creative eye to the film, making the visuals just as fascinating as the plot itself. There is a rustic, eerie quality that creates a perfect atmosphere for an occult horror film. Certain scenes even take on the look of a work of art. One thing is for sure, Vida is a director horror fans will want to keep their eye on." - Molly Henery, BLOGGING BANSHEE
“Trim Season is a bloody trip. Beyond the smoke haze lies a witchy film that shocks and entertains. Somehow, this premise about killer weed works and manifests into a potent story about female power and kinship.” -Brian Fanelli, HORROR BUZZ

“If you’re looking for a ’60s neo-noir mystery à la 2014’s Inherent Vice refracted through the Lynchian surreality of Brand New Cherry Flavor and psychotropic visual stylings of Panos Cosmatos’ Mandy, this film might just be your particular flavor of weird.” - POLYGON
“Finding its root in the noir genre, Ariel’s debut feature wows with each frame, and takes the viewer on an unforgettable journey. Fans of Lord Huron’s eponymous album will be in for a treat, and the neophytes will find the perfect soundscape for this breathtaking visual and narrative trip.” - Hugues Barbier, YELLOW VEIL PICTURES
“Hypnotic and creative… so damn eerie, dark, and at its core rests a lonely heart.” - Patrick R. McDonough, DEAD HEADSPACE
MUSIC VIDEO
| OfficIal premiere at The AV CLUB |
"Ariel Vida brings us a heavily-stylised, Robert Rodriguez-esque B-movie music video. It has all the trappings of a kitschy American road movie: seedy motels, booze, gambling, violence and the open road. And an unstoppable avenging angel.
We follow our anti-hero as he unleashes his vengeance on the members of a shady corporation that destroyed his world, and possibly his life. Classic Western tropes executed here with a horror movie twist, and a superfun fondness for the genre." - PromoNews.TV
"The cinematic narrative, directed by Ariel Vida, brings vitality to the Americana folk sounds of Lord Huron which will, no doubt, trigger a desire to sit down with season one of True Detective this weekend, it’s that good." - state.ie
