Don't know where to start with this film... It mentioned somewhere that this is an example of (one of) the best in British cinema! God help us if that's the case! The film was below average, with below average acting and many obvious goofs/impossibilities in the film.
The reviewers who have said that fake accounts have been created to artificially increase the rating of the film have really got a case. Simply awful! The plot??? Well - please don't let me start on that!

It's a good story but the acting is bad. There is too much happening.
There are some good plot twists so, 3 stars.
There are good indie films and then not-so-good ones. Welcome to Curiosity took on too much in its story line and was in need of a really good edit to condense and connect the inter-connected stories better. Amor Perros - the director Inarittu first film is a great example of several stories that intersect at one crucial moment, as well as his better known Traffic and 21 Grams. I thought the editing was quite spotty. This film doesn't stand up to British indie classics the 80's and 90's such as My Beautiful Launderette or Croupier, to name a few. Please watch these films, including Amores Perros (Known as Love Is a Bitch), to understand what I mean. Don't watch this film unless you have nothing better to do with your time. Some good ideas but poor script, editing and some lack-lustre acting, except for Someni.

This is just an incoherent mess, it's like someone took pieces from various unrelated movies and spliced them together.
Definitely fake accounts hyping this movie up, this was the most boring, poorly scripted movie I've seen in a while.
Far too much going on at one time and nothing really connecting the storylines.
Average acting, average storyline.

How this has any decent reviews is beyond me. The acting is terrible, the story is terrible. It's just a mess with what seems to be everyday people pretending to be actors. Don't waste your time.

This was just not a great movie. It was like the UK, was like "If Hollywood can do it so can we"! Although they failed. The characters and story were interesting enough to carry you till the end but the acting was just awful! They could not even FAKE being gangsters, it was sad. I do not recommend this movie even if you have some time to kill. Also, stupid ending with none of the stories really connecting in the right way. Plus side, was there were two good twists, but that was IT!
If you're expecting a Marvel/Star Wars Any other type of franchise blockbuster then this film is not for you... But if you want to see some genuine creativity and thought provoking story telling with great performances then this film has a lot to offer! It's refreshing to see what can be done without a multi million dollar budget and Tom Hardy/Hanks/Cruise. MI:Fallout doesn't need or appreciate your support and attention, but films like this do and have much more to offer in return!

Well worth seeing for a number of outstanding performances, brooding cinematography and score, all supporting a pacey story-line scattered with dark humour that momentarily defuses the building tensions.
This is further proof of what a British Indie film can do on on a relative shoestring.
Whilst you felt some of the sub-plots were not explored or interwoven as deeply as they might be, the ultimate impression is admiration for an Indie film punching well above its weight, that held the audience throughout and that has potential for a future cult following.

Reviewers used to watching big budget A-list titles will be able to pick holes (as in most films!!), but for me, I enjoyed the story and the film given the limited budget.

I support indie films and this is one of the best came out recently.
The greatest thing about welcome to curiosity is that, it became one of the hot topics for conversation about indie film. I believe that myself an achievement for the team behind it. Keep going fellas.

A *lot* crammed in to just 90 minutes. This is a film that aims much bigger than its budget and for the most part succeeds. Richard Blackwood as a bad guy probably steals the show but the rest of the cast are strong too, with Call the Midwife's Reverend Tom (Jack Ashton) and Good Karma Hospital's Ruby (Amrita Acharia) cast in very different roles. Powerful score and slick cinematography.

This film has so much potential - lots of great characters and a good old fashioned british gangster plot... well worth a watch

Low budget, gripping British film, great cast, with a story line to keep you guessing to the end.
Ignore the so called "professional critics" take a leap of faith and watch this film, it doesn't disappoint.

Regardless of what some people are saying this is a cracking film, good story, the actings ok, it has some nice twists which will keep you guessing..its better than some of the crap on mainstream cinema at the moment, give it a watch.
I really enjoyed the film that was well directed and had good actors. It was very much an american style indie film set in the UK.
I very much enjoyed the film.

Such a great concept behind this film - crowd funded - shame it is getting trashed by people who do not look at the bigger picture. Am thoroughly chuffed to have watched it - enjoyed it immensely and look forward to their next project which will only be bigger and better I am sure. Its really not as bad as some ignoramous' are spouting...
