	Author	Review
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"'Blame' essentially flirts with one set of clichés only to settle down with another (...) The film is powered by some fine acting, as well as a current of sincere feeling that helps you forgive some of its more conspicuous flaws and limitations."	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"The pieces of 'Blame' don’t always fit together (...) yet Shephard, to her credit, isn’t shy about showcasing the gradations of teenage rage."	NEU
United States	Ally Johnson The Playlist	"Powerful and self-assured (...) An insightful film that delivers an honest portrait of four girls"	POS
United States	Michael Nordine IndieWire	"The result, though under-realized, shows great promise from a filmmaker who’s clearly just getting started."	NEU
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"It’s impressive enough that 22-year-old Quinn Shephard wrote, directed, produced, edited and stars in the high-school melodrama 'Blame'. It’s almost a bonus that the movie’s good."	POS
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"The sudden move toward exploring the roots of Melissa’s noxious behavior (...) is too blatantly manipulative to land with any emotional heft (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
