A little disappointed by the limp ending. It was really good up until that point.

The movie was dark comedic satire of therapy with a supernatural twist. The movie overall was entertaining with a great cast. The rotten portion was it took a sharp turn from fun to repetitive and predictable with a soft close to the film. I give a 3.5 rating; was entertaining but could have been better.

I liked the movie. Makes you think about all the things you hold onto in life, all the bad decisions, people, thoughts, etc. and how you cannot let it go even if it kills you. Reality in your face here.

For the most part, It successfully milks its single, predictable metaphor for an off the wall and entertaining 75 minutes. There's a lot to recommend but it feels very underdeveloped and simplistic for a feature and obviously too drawn out for a short.

... certainly rocky in terms of pacing and unsure how to handle all of its characters, it blends horror, comedy, romance, and emotion into an original film ...

Miller's hyper realistic style and skewed POV shots are paired with low tech animatronic beasties, the cleanse's adorable expectorations which grow up to be...something quite different, and the overall effect is gently amusing and offbeat.

It is more clever than poignant and plods a bit during its short (81 minute) run time.

Although it may evoke such films as "Gremlins" and "The Lobster," as well as David Cronenberg's earlier work, writer-director Bobby Miller's oozy, eerie, yet weirdly soulful yarn feels like an original.

There are creatures in the film that obviously represent the past, disappointments, sadness, and everything that is weighing down people in their lives. The idea of giving that a face and having to confront it is a great idea.

While details grow shaky - the logic and repercussions of certain actions don't seem to hold up - the effect is still an oddly original effort that marks Miller as a filmmaker to watch.

The film could have easily fallen flat, straying into B movie or comedy territory, but it's a masterful blend of horror, drama and comedy.

[Takes] a fresh, surprisingly low-key and affecting approach to its lunatic premise.

As lost, lonely self-helpers struggle to work out whether their negative feelings should be killed off once and for all, or embraced and even shared, Miller's screenplay births plenty of emotionally intelligent tragicomedy.

Master Cleanse isn't the easiest film to open up to. But Miller knows exactly how the third act should play, and he manages (thanks in part to the increasingly intriguing creature work) to reach an emotionally satisfying conclusion.

More humorous than gross, The Master Cleanse is a sweetly comedic horror film.
