	Media	Author	Review
		Andrew Barker Variety	"Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein's impressive indie sci-fi debut makes virtues of its limitations"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"An exasperating 104-minute audition for whatever franchise superhero fare its makers are clearly hoping to be hired for next."
		Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"The filmmakers are seeking to deliver more than just action-driven entertainment (...) Narratively and visually it’s all of a well-integrated piece"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"The film doesn’t earn many points for originality, but writer- directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein show just enough low-budget gusto"
		Perri Nemiroff Collider	"The claustrophobic intimacy of the first portion of the film is strong (...) Overall it’s a dark, thrilling sci-fi ride with a very effective dramatic backbone."
		Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"Hirsch and Dern are great in roles that prove much more complicated than initial assumptions (...) Kolker is fantastic"
