	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Effective atmospherics don't fully compensate for the sluggish storytelling (...) [Dorff] makes the act of mourning compelling."	NEU
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"A lukewarm puddle of supernatural malarkey (...) Even as an exercise in genre atmospherics, it’s a complete miss"	NEG
United States	Warren Cantrell The Playlist	"The film moves well and is buttressed by consistent performances across the board (...) The dialogue through most of the film is sharp and has a buoyancy that elevates it above the somewhat flat narrative"	POS
United States	Teo Bugbee The New York Times	"Dorff is strikingly enigmatic (...) The gimmick that propels the action undercuts the characters. If Ben can change his past, it becomes challenging to take interest in his present."	NEU
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"A loopy and desultory 'psychological thriller' without a single thrill and the psychology of a paperback called 'Psychology for Morons' (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
Ireland	Donald Clarke Irish Times	"[It is] stranded throughout in a mid-budget, mid-genre Nowhere that will cause more furrowed brows than icy shudders (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Ireland	Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie	"As earnest as 'Don’t Go' is, one can’t shake off its silliness (...) You’re left confounded at who this movie is meant for and what it’s supposed to mean (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
