A young couple's sheltered and affluent world is shattered when they decide to neglect the needs of a troubled teenage girl.

Times (UK)

The Incident opens promisingly... [but] falls into a woozy, boring soup.

Rated: 2/5

Guardian

Gedmintas impresses with the trickiest role of the three and makes up for her annoying turn as a cutesy love interest in the recent A Street Cat Named Bob, while Connor also compels with an alert, layered performance.

Rated: 3/5

Alternative Lens

What plot is there is incredibly mundane and borders on first-world problems.

Rated: 1/10

CineVue

A fairly well paced close quarter's drama. It's much too quiet and timid, however, to delve as deep as it could have into the characters' cracking emotional states.

Rated: 2/5

Another Gaze

The Incident is a film in which people obsess over, but never in fact influence, how other people live.

The Arts Desk

This is [ane Linfoot's] first full-length feature and it doesn't quite deliver the goods, though it does have a quietly disturbing, Joanna Hogg-like quality, only without Hogg's wit and verve.

Rated: 3/5

boring piece of SH!T. every scene is a character alone being silent, walking around or eating and sitting quietly. just stab yourself in the face instead of watching this, I guarantee a better time!

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
