Reception

In his review for Screen Anarchy,[4] Andrew Mack said the film is "it's certainly an unconventional feature film debut, written, directed and starring Deger. Officially it's been called in some places a neon-colored fantasy/romance/drama. Deger blends violence, romance, sex and wry moments of comedy into his compact tale. Small in concept and bold in color and style (...) I am definitely curious to see what this young filmmaker comes up with next."[5]

On CBR,[4] Cass Clarke said that "Playdurizm unwinds its devasting mystery slowly with gleeful amounts of macabre plot twists and plenty of techno color confidence".[6] On Scared Sheepless,[4] Caitlyn Downs gave it a 4/5 rating saying that it is "fiercely original, even when homaging some of the horror genre’s biggest hitters, Playdurizm stands out as a unique, affecting experience that deserves to be seen."[4]

Ticiano Osório of Brazilian newspaper GaúchaZH listed it as one of his favorite films from Fantaspoa pt 2021.[7]
