A charismatic, mercurial and troubled former Marine returns from Iraq and inadvertently becomes the center of a documentary film while she tries to integrate herself back into society and regain custody of her young daughter.

Ken Jaworowski

New York Times

"Bikini" is parts mockumentary, satire, dark drama and, in at least one scene, bizarre fantasy. Often, the exceptional cast saves the project from exhaustion.

Variety

A patchy, intermittently captivating hodgepodge that begins promisingly before losing its narrative thread...

The Hollywood Reporter

The film also explores the nature of truth and our perceptions of reality, capturing a feeling of cinema verite in its seemingly casual structure, gaps in the narrative, temporal leaps and rough sound and image.

Film Threat

Overall, I just think Bikini Moon makes a crucially weird creative choice that hurts it pretty severely. I'll be completely honest, I really don't understand why that ending needed to even happen.

Rated: 6/10

If Bikini Moon were not such a decidedly independent and "small" movie, an Oscar nomination for Best Actress wouldn't be out of the question.
