Steve Dollar Wall Street Journal Against the sacred and time-tossed setting, the artist's creations cast an uncanny spell: Inanimate yet alive, abandoned as scrap or carrion, yet newly born. Dec 12, 2012 Full Review Eric Kohn IndieWire The real star of this show is not the family but the otherworldly objects they churn out. Rated: B+ Dec 12, 2012 Full Review Matt Singer IFC.com This unortho-doc ultimately doesn't need to explain much more about its subjects' motivations because its images provide their own explanation. Dec 12, 2012 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Alterman's camera languidly soaks up the landscape, lingering long enough so that we can appreciate both the beauty of the setting and the surprising dialogue created between it and Christiaan's artwork. Rated: 4/5 Feb 10, 2013 Full Review Noah Lee Film Threat A complex melding of the natural and the machine, his robotic art pieces are at once beautiful and yet things nightmares are made of. Rated: 3/5 Dec 12, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Toxic H Paguei 30 reais pra ver isso, prometeram um terror e entregaram um suspense meia boca, historia sem sentido, personagens mal feitos, destaque em personagens que nem se quer possui fala, indefinição do que a protagonista é, e quais suas habilidades, cenas do passado sem nexo nenhum, alem do audío muitas vezes ficar estourado em momentos aleatorios, CGI muito mal feito, uma decepção. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
