	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[A] flawed but potent psychological chiller (...) In some ways, it’s a riff on Polanski’s Repulsion (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"Having turned it over, I've concluded that my frustration over what I considered a non-resolution did not compromise the movie's feeling of genuine creepiness. Sometimes that's enough (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

		Kevin Maher The Times	"A deeply creepy atmosphere and a fascinating protagonist are the selling points of this idiosyncratic psychological horror (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ferdosa Abdi Screen Rant	"[It] is good at getting under the skin, but it becomes more frustrating than good as it nears its finale. And no amount of stellar acting or competent filmmaking can overcome a shoddy ending (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
