	Author	Review
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Blends survival horror with psychological, physical, and beyond (...) [It] is worth the watch simply to see the bold introduction to a new voice in genre film. (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"[It] never justifies its scant running time or settles on a tone. Benjamin never quite replicates that creepy feeling of being alone in a dangerous place, (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Ambitious but unaffecting (...) In her first lead performance, Fontes’ inexperience proves a good fit for the role of Wendy"	NEU
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"Deftly employing the power of suggestion and an emotionally potent sound design, 'Body at Brighton Rock' is a well-crafted thriller with some crafty tricks up its sleeve."	POS
United States	Matthew Monagle Austin Chronicle	"Benjamin’s star as a filmmaker may be solidly on the rise, but this is more a stepping stone than a finished product."	NEU
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"A story like [this] lives or dies based on the lead’s charisma, the palpability of her fear, and the sympathy she engenders from the audience. Unfortunately, there’s very little of any of the above in this amateurish effort"	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[It is] told with plenty of skill, even more potential, and an utter lack of preciousness (...) It doesn’t always feel as though Benjamin has the tightest grasp on her film’s tone"	NEU
