| Big Easy MagazineBill ArceneauxIt's dystopian now. It's a road that follows back into itself, repeating on and on. It's a data-mosh where all that matters in this or that world is persona. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeMazzei’s script and Goldhaber’s direction complement each other beautifully, with true-to-life details like the tacky dollar-store carpet that decorates Alice’s camming room and the pink taser she keeps in her car playing off of—and enhancing—the naturalistic dialogue. |
| Consequence of SoundRandall ColburnIt’s gripping stuff, especially since Goldhaber and Mazzei map out an endgame that’s maintains an intriguing ambiguity while still providing a definitive conclusion. |
| The Blogging BansheeMolly HeneryCam is a technological thriller with a stunning and authentic portrayal of the life of a camgirl. |
| Film Journal InternationalRebecca PahleUnfortunately, a solid premise can only carry a film so far, and Goldhaber fails to deliver on Cam’s potential. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanA bold, electrifying thriller. Madeline Brewer gives a brave and ferocious performance. |
| ColliderHaleigh FoutchThe set-up is primed for rich psychological thrills, and Cam by-and-large delivers, following a commanding performance from Brewer. |
| CinelipsisFederico FurzanToday's society feels a certain cynicism towards the world explored in Cam, but it's no match for the terror caused by something inimaginable and improbable. |
| ThrillistDan JacksonIt has the same pluck and formal dexterity as Steven Soderbergh's pharmacological mental health thriller Unsane or Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman's online gaming parable Nerve. |
| Seventh RowElena LazicCam is fun but never at the expense of its heroine, a sex worker who just wants to be able to do her job safely. |
