	Author	Review
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"The monotonously dark visuals barely function to carry the story on their own (...) The gaps in logic might be easier to forgive if the movie’s real-world resonances weren’t so troubling"	NEG
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"Exceptional dialogue and strong performances (...) [A] lean, punchy, beautifully shot ’70s-style thriller"	POS
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"Written and directed with a pedestrian lack of both suspense and excitement (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"Dunham stacks this house of cards deftly enough (...) The excellent actors are not given much room to breathe or to bring real flesh and feeling to their characters’ various agendas and grievances."	NEU
Canada	Ard Vijn Screen Anarchy	"An intelligently made chamber-drama (...) A great little thriller, and I recommend watching it"	POS
