	Author	Review
United States	Farran Smith Nehme New York Post	"The script's mordant humor only makes Nade's situation feel more bleak. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The plot undermines the film's power. At the end you may be impressed at the skill on display, but you may also wish that you were more fully moved by the spectacle of a soul laid bare and transformed."	NEU
United States	Jessica Kiang IndieWire	"It's a clever, lean exploration of the sometimes surprising priorities you hold when your back is to the wall."	POS
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"The naturalistic style of the storytelling is stealthily enthralling, as is the lead performance by Margita Gosheva."	POS
United States	Aaron Hillis Village Voice	"A precisely paced, nightmarish thriller."	POS
