	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] captures seediness without exploitation and gives its star Alexandra Daddario a refuge from the genre and eye-candy roles that populate her filmography.	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] works as an atmospheric mood piece and sometime erotic drama. It’s less successful as a character study"	NEU
United States	Peter Sobczynski rogerebert.com	"While there are plenty of words that could be used to describe this attempted combination of introspective drama and kinky sex fantasy, “interesting” is one that I am reasonably sure will not be further deployed in the course of this review (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"The film’s success hinges on Daddario’s performance. Margaret isn’t just the central character; she’s the heart and soul of the film (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Tara McNamara Common Sense Media	"[It is] not sexy at all (...) That said, the appeal of this unromantic romance is how love blooms"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[It] isn’t perfect, and there is a touch of orientalism about the obsessive-affair-with-Japanese-man trope (...) But there is also something well controlled (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
