His computer models are behaving erratically, as are the swarms of mosquitos breeding in his apartment, an infestation that attends his psychological meltdown.

	Media	Author	Review
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A Cronenbergian parable about our financial ecosystem (...) 'Mosquito State' begs for some context before we can dive into its crepuscular plot."
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Cronenberg meets Kafka (...) this is commandingly creepy psycho-horror, even if its forbidding narrative loses momentum."
		Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"Hard to enjoy (...) Unlikely to get under your skin"
		Steve Pond The Wrap	"As a kind of twisted social commentary, it doesn’t make much sense on paper (...) but 'Mosquito State' manages to get under your skin and also to find moments of disquieting beauty"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"[It] swaggers with slick, nasty formal showmanship designed to get under the viewer’s skin. But it’s all in service of pretty thin ideas about capitalist decline and masculinity in crisis, played out by thinner characters still"
		Mel Valentin Screen Anarchy	"It's the kind of performance that audiences should embrace for its fearlessness, for Knapp's willingness to risk turning himself into an object of ridicule, contempt, and scorn"
		David Katz Cineuropa	"It is essentially The Fly + American Psycho (...) a work that, like its title figure, is irritating and deserves a quick shot of kill spray."
