Director of 'The Changeling' Embraces Negative Reviews with Pride

Director and executive producer Jonathan van Tulleken responds to the mixed reviews of Apple TV+'s series "The Changeling," stating that he is proud of the show's ambition and unconventional approach. The horror fantasy series, based on Victor LaValle's novel, explores complex issues surrounding parenting and uses mythology and folklore to engage with real trauma. Van Tulleken discusses the challenges of adapting the book into a visually experiential series set in New York, and emphasizes the importance of building character grounding and a slow build-up to the action. He praises lead actor LaKeith Stanfield's commitment and collaboration, and highlights the role of Emma as a co-conspirator and hero in the story. Van Tulleken also addresses the treatment of race in the series and hopes that audiences will be left excited for the expansion of the world in a potential second season.

"The Changeling: A Nightmarish and Pretentious Thriller That Misses the Mark"

Apple TV+'s adaptation of Victor LaValle's novel "The Changeling" fails to effectively bring together the elements of Norwegian fairy tales, the Black American experience, Ugandan traditions, and magical folklore. The series, told from the perspective of protagonist Apollo Kagwa (played by LaKeith Stanfield), struggles to ground the narrative in themes of memory, parenthood, and childhood. With an overwhelming amount of exposition and a lack of explanation, the show leaves viewers with more questions than answers, resulting in a baffling and disjointed viewing experience.
