	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Neil Young Screendaily	"A quietly absorbing, small-scale enterprise with some moments of genuine tension"	POS
United States	John Fink The Film Stage	"Landing somewhere between intense, realistic family drama and arthouse horror, Jonathan Cuartas’ My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell it To is an oddly moving tale about social isolation, loneliness, and illness"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"While 'My Heart' could have used a more assertive ending than the director’s screenplay comes up with, its sad, furtive characters still linger in the mind well after the blood they’ve spilt has dried."	POS
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"A unique and thoughtful exploration of family dysfunction m(...) My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To contemplates codependency’s haunting and destructive power (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	William Repass Slant	'"My Heart' may invite unfavorable comparisons to 'Let the Right One In' (...) But by turning a vampire’s conflicted caretakers into protagonists (...) still manages to vividly diagnose a sickness of insularity endemic to middle-class America."	POS
