	Author	Review
United States	A.A. Dowd AV Club	"As horror, 'Separation' is inept and lazy"	NEG
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"An atrocious piece of work, a movie that fails as both a domestic drama and as a horror flick"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"The film squanders its intriguing set-up and terrific performances by devolving into familiar genre tropes"	POS
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"None of the actors can infuse any rooting interest in their characters, and the introduced themes lack poignancy or refinement (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Nick Schager Variety	"Nick Amadeus and Josh Braun’s script is awash in clichéd contrivances (...) Despite having characters incessantly explain key plot points, 'Separation' lacks basic logic"	NEG
Canada	Caitlin Chappell CBR	"'Separation' could have either gone for a nuanced family drama that happened to have ghosts or it could've been an over the top haunted house film (...) but instead it shoots for the middle."	NEU
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"I was bored as I slogged through the two-hour story of a haunting that evoked every cliche from every horror movie of the last two decades while squandering what could have been a truly unique tale"	NEG
United States	Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media	"Dull, familiar horror movie about divorce and death (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
