      Kate Stables Sight & Sound Guzikowski's well-honed thriller occasionally idles under Villeneuve's dark character studies, but the director's powerfully imposed mood of dread elevates what might otherwise have been just a superior police procedural. Jul 31, 2018 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire An increasingly sloppy thriller, filled with obvious clues, laughable red herrings, and halfhearted "shock" reveals, played at a snail's pace that lets far too much air into the narrative. Jun 19, 2016 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com This film haunted me for days and weeks after seeing it, and the feeling still lingers. Rated: A+ Apr 17, 2015 Full Review Miles Surrey The Ringer The tense thriller that put its director on the map... Sep 29, 2023 Full Review Iván Kazi EscribiendoCine While the resolution is close to being predictable... the movie's strong suit is something else. The process, the content, and the journey are profoundly immersive.
