	Media	Author	Review
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"[It] should resonate with mainstream viewers — especially those who have experienced the passing of a beloved parent."
		Guy Lodge Variety	"It’s hard to say how interesting or idealized the film Jacobsen first conceived would have wound up being; it’s unlikely to have been as affecting as this one"
		Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa	"The characters are generally well-developed, with their emotions and thoughts transpiring clearly from short, off-screen interviews and cinematography by the director"
		Warren Cantrell The Playlist	"As an exploration of grief and the struggle of people/parents looking for ways to disconnect from the modern world, 'A New Kind of Wilderness' is a genuine, thoughtful peek behind the verité curtain with few gimmicks or frills"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"It’s a reminder that you don’t need sensationalism to deliver something that’s honest and emotionally resonant"
