| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfOrser is a bright spot in a promising picture, but one that's in need of a little more activity to keep its characters genuinely busy, and not just indie film action figures waiting patiently for the inevitable payoff of violence. |
| The Film StageBill GrahamStearns crafts a slow-forming film, establishing atmosphere and tension. |
| ColliderAllison KeeneFaults is a taught and charismatic work, and also the latest film to tackle the subject of cults in a quietly earnest way. |
| StarburstRyan PollardPsychologically thrilling, yet oddly and darkly comic at times, Faults is an intense character study that gets under your skin and sends chills up your spine. |
| Film Comment MagazineNicolas RapoldStearns's film presents a risky black-box proposition: what happens when you put the potentially rote dynamics between cult member and deprogrammer in a stage play-like setting? In this case, the result is a satisfying, small-scale success. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonThere are indeed some faults, but not enough to derail the fascinating mind games being staged in this low-budget drama. |
| SciFiNowJonathan HatfullWe'd recommend knowing as little about it as possible, but we'll open by saying that it's funny, it's puzzling, and it's utterly beguiling. |
| SF CrowsnestFrank OchiengFaults is a resourceful black comedy that works effectively and never strays away from its pedigree of outrageous misfortune. This is one psychological character study that demonstrates its motivation for unconventional strife with devilish conviction. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoOrser and Winstead don't just seem ever-present with each other in their spats, but play up the physicality of their characters, whether it's Orser's shrunken sadsack demeanor or Winstead's expressive eyes that speak. |
| Movie MezzanineCorey AtadStearns allows the actors space to organically bring a human dimension to Faults' exploration of psychological control. |
