Critics' reviews

"The twist-heavy, logic-bending plot will test audience patience in places, but the whole package is handsomely crafted and rich in strong performances"

Stephen Dalton: The Hollywood Reporter
"Margaret Qualley's performance as a mysteriously pregnant ingenue is the saving grace of this silly, overworked suburban thriller"

Guy Lodge: Variety
"The tale is a jolting one, and the superb players do justice to the emotional distress of its characters. But a surer directorial hand might have yielded a more resonant experience"

Glenn Kenny: The New York Times
"'Strange But True' boasts a neat premise. But the initially taut thriller takes an unexpected tonal shift into overwrought suspense, losing some of its claustrophobic domestic tension along the way.

Wendy Ide: Screendaily
