	Author	Review
United States	Rob Nelson Variety	"This disarmingly cheeky, intermittently gorgeous trifle would create the perfect bookend to a career begun almost 50 years ago"	NEU
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"One can reflect on what the young Coppola (...) might have done with such an opportunity. Unfortunately, the present-day one produces only tepid and tired imagery that would not earn high marks in any film school"	NEG
United States	G. Allen Johnson SFGATE	"'Twixt' is fun, but fairly flimsy - it doesn't have the ambition of his previous film (...) It's also not really scary, although there are some nice creepy visuals here and there"	NEU
United Kingdom	Catherine Shoard The Guardian	"It's a film which fatally fails to hold your focus: events seem both predictable and mumbled; the monochrome looks grubby, the splashes of colour and blood joke shop cheap (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"'The Godfather' it's not, but this had more vigor and immediacy than either 'Youth Against Youth' or 'Tetro'"	POS
