| Shockya.comBrent SimonA savvy, artful, well constructed little domestic drama of paranoia that builds its story around its limited production means but never sacrifices its thematic inquiry, its essence, its core. |
| Seattle TimesJeff Shannon"Ultrasonic" recalls better indie films like "Pi" and "Primer," but there's just not enough story to stretch over 90 minutes, resulting in several scenes that feel like filler, propelled by Rao's good but occasionally too-intrusive electronica score. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubAn electronic score pulses throughout the film, which can be cliched in individual scenes but still goes in some unexpected directions. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerUndone by tone-deaf repetitiveness and a particularly slack midsection, this debut feature by jack-of-all-trades filmmaker Rohit Colin Rao has some interesting ideas, but is unable to convincingly dramatize them. |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerThe prolonged time devoted to Simon's susceptibility to Jonas' delusions leads to a wish on the audience's part to check what's playing on another channel. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThe kind of grimly serious low-budget indie that wants to shake up perceptions about our engagement with the world, but mistakes repetition for resonance. |
