| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerFor viewers stuck on this island for 90 minutes with three boisterous extroverts and one semi-catatonic, semi-hysteric guest, it's like coming down with a case of both schizophrenia and high cabin fever. |
| QuickflixRichard HaridyIf you're like me and enjoy horror films that make you feel odd, unsettled and generally unpleasant, then this is one of the best feel-bad experiences you could have. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerA disturbing, Polanski-esque psychological horror with stunning sound design and a pair of terrific performances from Juno Temple and Michael Cera. |
| sbs.com.auSimon FosterOne young woman's descent into paranoid psychosis offers much to admire but not a lot of real-person emotion to engage with; the result is a compelling but frustratingly light style-over-substance thriller. |
| ScreenCrushJordan HoffmanAt the screening I attended, there were audible moans and even an entreaty to "make it stop." Yeah, you've got to see this movie. |

| GuardianPeter BradshawAnother satisfyingly nasty and well-controlled work from Silva. |
| Little White LiesCalum MarshJuno Temple is sensational in this assured psychological thriller from Sebastián Silva. |

| VarietyPeter DebrugeMeticulously acted, gorgeously shot and hilariously insightful about the strange, inarticulable ways people can get on one another’s nerves, this psychological thriller takes its premise to surprising, darkly comic extremes. |
