	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Writer-director Adam Sigal’s take on a most curious 1930s paranormal or hoax case doesn’t seem certain what to say about it, or how"	NEG
United States	B.L. Panther Paste Magazine	"Those who choose to embrace the uncertainty get an enjoyable exercise in suspending rationality"	POS
United Kingdom	Jayne Nelson Radio Times	"What we get is a languid, woolly story that doesn't seem to have a point or a reason to be told (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Chase Hutchinson Collider	"The cast is sufficiently fun and the remote location a proper backdrop for the offbeat story to play out. It just never brings all its pieces together"	NEU
United States	James Verniere Boston Herald	"A quirky delight"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The film muses boringly on life's great imponderables (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Nell Minow rogerebert.com	"There is a lovely, timeless quality to the world [the creators] have created (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Brian Farvour The Playlist	"A directionless effort and nothing more"	NEG
