The source of suspense lies entirely within one character's fragile mind.

The New Yorker

The young director Sophia Takal's shrewdly psychological first feature is anchored in the milieu of young creative strivers and the emotional strains that arise from their ambitions.

Moveable Fest

Articularly acute as a character study of a young woman overcome with emotions she doesn't entirely understand and yet a film that grows well beyond the frame, lingering in thoughts long after leaving the theater.

House Next Door

The sudden tonal shift toward the end may rub some viewers the wrong way, but it proves Takal has much more on her mind than the simple character study of young jerks in love.

A slow but sure essay on the strengths and weaknesses of love and possession.

Abound with interesting ideas, especially as far as music and sound go, but fails to be a wholly interesting piece. Long, slow, drawn out, and not giving us anything to look at in the process. It's a piece of Impressionism, perhaps for lack of a budget, thus the context of what our characters are framed against is obscured. Robin is perfectly pesty, just the right intrusion to interrupt these Brooklynites' getaway. Performances are perfect, Brooklynites have that quiet, passive snobbery about them. Genevieve (Kate Lyn Sheil) can tell a thousand stories with the being of her face alone. Robin (Sophia Takal) has just the right mannerisms to make us feel bad for her simplemindedness. So much that Genevieve devolving into paranoia over Sebastian having an affair with her seems misplaced.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Sophia Takal presents an entirely unique glimpse into female psychology in this uncomfortable and oddly intense independent film.

The mumblecore dialogue can be annoying, but along with the excellent score, it actually serves this tense haziness well.

A beautiful blend of realism and psycho-sexual torment. "Green" gives life qualities to its hipster-esque characters, making them come off as both annoying yet irreconcilably human. Behind the lens Sophia Takal shows us the power of the Canon 5D camera, showing off beautiful landscapes. In front of the lens Sophia plays Robin, an curious dynamo any man (...or woman) can't help but be attracted to. That attraction is the soul of "Green", as the other leads fight her addiction as they try to solidify their bond as a couple.
