	Media	Author	Review
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"The movie feels frustratingly repetitive — a single joke repeated ad nauseam."
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"It's difficult to take things completely seriously (...) [Miller manages] to reach an emotionally satisfying conclusion"
		Justin Chang Variety	"Miller’s decision to keep the emphasis entirely on character and theme shows impressive confidence. He gives the movie all the juice it needs."
		Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"Although it may evoke such films as 'Gremlins' and 'The Lobster', as well as David Cronenberg's earlier work, writer-director Bobby Miller's oozy, eerie, yet weirdly soulful yarn feels like an original."
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"A remarkably clever and fun first act that just starts spinning its wheels around the halfway mark on its way to an unsatisfying ending."
		Kim Newman Screendaily	"[Miller takes] a fresh, surprisingly low-key and affecting approach to its lunatic premise."
