The Pink Lens

It plods forward at a somewhat steady - and laboured - pace leading to a climax that doesn't quite deliver.

Rated: 2/5

Shadows on the Wall

Some of the topics are very important, but writer-director Mark Schwab gives the film a very preachy tone as things slowly ramp up into into thriller territory.

Rated: 2/5

Film Threat

Crisis Hotline is an absorbing thriller, whose story structure ensures maximum tension and engagement from the audience.

Rated: 8/10

Rich Cross

Starburst

The fact that it's an uncomfortable and unsettling watch is a combination of the distressing subject matter and the flat execution of a script in which empathy, compassion and human dignity are pushed to the fringes.

Rated: 5/10

Andrew Stover

Film Inquiry

Crisis Hotline succeeds in meaning as much as it does in suspense. This is a thriller with a mightily subtle pace and a frighteningly hypnotic atmosphere, laced with brimming sexuality and perfidy.

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Combustible Celluloid

The film sometimes even has a Lynchian feel, with moments that are just so unreal as to feel nightmarish.

Rated: 3/4

It's a good movie and sad. I cried cause it touched me in so many reasons. I know how Danny felt cause I had a very similar situation minus being put on the internet and it touched me cause I knew how I felt after finding out. It's really good movie and sad. Don't understand how Kyle didn't do anything about it, Danny loved him so much. It's sad but a great movie.
