	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"While the film is full of artifice and allegorical implication, it also presents itself as a quasiscientific look at human male pack behavior in the wild"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Tsangari has delivered another intriguing and thoroughly original character study, which this time serves as an apt metaphor for Greece's larger problems"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"Scene by scene, it builds a vision of group dynamics as calm, violent and finally unyielding as the sea."	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"With evident glee, the female director subverts gender stereotypes from the get-go."	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"It's an expertly executed tease."	POS
