	Media	Author	Review
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"As calamities pile up and the more levelheaded Leo struggles to adjust, the actors develop impressive intimacy"
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"More satisfying as an exercise in ambiguous atmosphere than as a fully realized narrative or character study (...) The pic confirms Seimetz as a talent to watch"
		Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Despite some rough around the edges production values, lead actors Kate Lyn Sheil and Kentucker Audley are intriguing enough to carry the slight, vaguely sinister narrative"
		Nathan Rabin AV Club	"Working wonders on a tight budget, Seimetz uses handheld cameras and tight compositions to create an air of claustrophobic intensity interspersed with moments of ragged beauty"
		Glenn Heath Jr. Slant	"Seimetz’s intoxicating slice of genre revisionism earns its 'neo' prefix, envisioning a brightly sinister world where desperation is the new normal (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
