Tom Nicholson

Empire Magazine

... It’s a movie built on a potentially star-making performance from Kular. It’s at its best, though, when it leans into the dread rather than going big; when it’s simmering away nicely, rather than hitting boiling point.

Rated: 4/5

Benjamin Lee

Guardian

It’s a film of our horrible moment, not only in its digital wrapping, but in its grim snapshot of the ever-increasing, easily disseminated hatred and fear that have further warped how people see and treat each other.

Rated: 3/5
