The Incident opens promisingly... [but] falls into a woozy, boring soup. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 11/24/2016
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Jennifer Heaton Alternative Lens 11/02/2018
1/10
What plot is there is incredibly mundane and borders on first-world problems. Go to Full Review Jamie Neish CineVue 08/13/2018
2/5
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. Go to Full Review Imogen West-Knights Another Gaze 01/31/2017
The Incident is a film in which people obsess over, but never in fact influence, how other people live. Go to Full Review Markie Robson-Scott The Arts Desk 11/29/2016
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
