Film Festival of Boston 2012 Wisconsin Film Festival 2012 Fantasporto 2012 Berlin International Film Festival Home Video Keyhole was released to home video on DVD and Blu-ray by Monterey Media in 2012. The home video release also includes Maddin's short films Send Me to the 'Lectric Chair (2009, co-directed by and starring Isabella Rossellini) and Glorious. Soundtrack The soundtrack for Keyhole was composed by Jason Staczek and released by Milan Records. In a note from the soundtrack's digital booklet, Maddin states the importance of the film's music: "I needed my movie to have the timeless logic of music, but it didn’t on the page and it didn’t on the set. [It didn't] until [Staczek] wrote the score for it." Critical reception The film received generally positive reviews, with review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reporting a 70% approval rating based on 37 reviews. Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from film critics, posts a rating score of 63 based on 16 reviews. While some critics reacted negatively to the film, including Anna Coatman, who stated that "Keyhole is perhaps a little too inward-looking, a little too claustrophobic," others, such as Roger Ebert, were more positive. Ebert gave the film 3/4 stars, writing that "Keyhole plays like a fever dream using the elements of film noir but restlessly rearranging them in an attempt to force sense out of them. You have the elements lined up against the wall, and in some mercurial way, they slip free and attack you from behind." Steve Dollar of The Wall Street Journal stated that "Keyhole proves that [Maddin] is as spellbinding in pixels as in celluloid." A. O. Scott of The New York Times also gave the film a positive review saying "'Keyhole' may also be a perfect gateway into the bizarre and fertile world of a unique film artist." Alonso Duralde (in The Wrap) called Keyhole "a deliciously disturbing dreamscape for audiences who want to follow one of today’s most fascinating film artists on another wild ride." The Village Voice writer Karina Longworth praised the film saying it is "stunning to look at... handmade, logic-defying, and magical." Jason Buchanan noted that "Few contemporary directors possess such a bold, singularly unique vision as Maddin, and since the mid-'80s he's built an impressive body of work distinguished by the juxtaposition of dazzling imagery with darkly comic themes and dialogue."
