	Author	Review
United States	Joe Neumaier New York Daily News	"It’s rare when a psychological drama gets us into a character’s head without tricks or a voiceover. This drama from Alex Ross Perry burrows so deep that it’s scary (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Rodrigo Perez IndieWire	"Perry’s observations of complicated female dynamics are extremely perceptive and the emotional specificity of alienation, disenchantment, and mistrust is wonderfully precise."	POS
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"Hell is other people — especially the ones who know you best — in Alex Ross Perry's acidly funny and unnerving portrait of a psychological breakdown."	POS
United States	Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"Throughout the film Moss traverses an astonishing range of emotions, from bliss to complete mental disintegration. She is fascinating to watch even when the film turns into a frustrating head-scratcher."	POS
United States	Neil Young IndieWire	"While on paper a Stateside, mumblecorey variation on Bergman's "Persona," “Queen of Earth" (...) is at heart an updated, smarter version of those psychological thrillers of the 60's and 70's in which (...) came to question their own sanity."	POS
United States	Stephanie Zacharek Village Voice	"Queen of Earth is also a semi-comedy, often funny in an intentionally bleak way. And that, besides Moss, is what makes it work."	POS
