	Media	Author	Review
		Debopriyaa Dutta Screen Rant	"A gritty portrait of eroticism in the digital age with great nuance and authenticity (...) Although imperfect in terms of narrative integrity and dramatic execution,' PVT Chat' is as gritty as it gets (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Cath Clarke The Guardian	"Uncomfortably funny and semi-insightful (...) But it’s hard to see how his film adds much to the conversation about intimacy in the internet age (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Natalia Keogan Paste Magazine	"[It] allows for true carnal comfort to swell between the lead actors without sacrificing artfully shot visuals and an air of sleek production value."
		Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"There are flashes of interest, and even some welcome screwball elements, but "PVT Chat" doesn't coalesce in a meaningful way (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Adam Graham Detroit News	"[It] is at its best when it delves into the intensity of digital relationships and the ways our minds can trick us into believing the deepness of a connection formed over a computer screen."
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Unconventional, satirical love story (...) Any doubt about the star potential of 'Uncut Gems' breakthrough talent Julia Fox should be laid to rest by her effortlessly eye-catching turn as a sex cam dominatrix in 'PVT CHAT'."
		Ryan Lattanzio IndieWire	"[It] never quite amounts to a meaningful experience, though as a grainy, scrappy New York movie, it’s certainly transportive. We might be in the gutter, but the view is great."
		Jake Cole Slant	"Hozie's wry, observational film positions a young man's repressed sexual paranoia as a reflection of a more general social malaise (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
