	Author	Review
United States	Jessica Kiang IndieWire	"It's all at once a gripping thriller, an incendiary social critique and a mordant moral fable."	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"It’s a surprising and often thought-provoking effort from a filmmaker who has never chosen to take the simple path, confirming Larrain as one of the more genuine talents working in cinema today."	POS
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"A distinctively barbed, psychologically complex response to the manifold abuses of the Catholic Church. (...) A master of grimy atmosphere, Larrain is in fierce command of his craft here"	POS

United States	Neil Young IndieWire	"This tart, smart and consistently surprising blend of ultra-serious material and darkly comic execution looks set to catapult director and co-writer Larraín into the front rank of international arthouse filmmakers."	POS
