	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] sits on the border that separates the art house from the grindhouse, even if it never fully convinces in either sense. But it deserves credit for remaining so stubbornly between two worlds."	NEU
United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"There’s poise and flair in the film’s overall stripped-back nature, echoed in its aesthetic (...) Possesses an otherworldly look (...) another adaptive tactic that helps it stand out in the heavily populated dystopian realm."	POS
United States	Lena Wilson The Playlist	"[It] has a few delightfully experimental moments but it quickly dovetails into nonsense (...) [It] is just here to waste your time."	NEG
	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"Its audacity, which will obviously leave no viewer feeling indifferent and which will undoubtedly have strong detractors (...) makes it a potentially cult title, which for a first feature, is already somewhat of a success."	NEU
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"From frame one 'Jessica Forever' moves at a stylistically measured pace with voiceover taking us through slow shifting pans and purposefully composed static shots to present a clinical look at the characters within."	POS
United States	Rafael Motamayor Bloody Disgusting	"[It] starts up with a promising premise that it abandons after 5 minutes (...) A film that tries to be both a Hollywood YA franchise, and a French avant-garde experiment, but fails at both (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
