	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A sympathetic and appropriately downtempo look at a musician's mental illness (...) 'Lost Transmissions' tells its story without engaging with foolish cliches about creativity and madness."	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A murky and unfocused journey (...) What the movie never figures out is how to make a man with mental illness brush up against our hearts."	NEG
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"Well-intentioned but frustratingly unengaging (...) [It] never quite manages to tune out the lingering element of self-indulgence."	NEG
United States	Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"While Theo and Hannah’s codependent relationship is believable, it’s not revealing or well-represented enough to be compelling (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Lea Palmieri Decider	"[It] is an interesting film and gives a lot of perspective on mental illness and the impact it has on those that suffer from it (...) It certainly opened my eyes to many aspects of this struggle."	POS
