Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle 04/14/2016
Keating keeps his cards close, a common conceit of the films he's referencing: Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby, The Innocents, Persona, just to name a few. Does he succeed? You'd better believe it. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 04/07/2016
More likely to dull by repetitive creep than memorably rattle the senses. Go to Full Review
Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail 04/01/2016
2.5/4
The director's Polanski preoccupation borders on imitation. Still, Keating's flattery is sincere, and so is his wish to stylishly freak you silly. Go to Full Review
Sydney Lee Horror Movie Talk Dec 4
6/10
The first act is boring as all hell but the second and third ramp up the action just a little bit, and the main actress Lauren Ashely Carter is a very good Kristen Stewart type. Go to Full Review
C.J. Prince Way Too Indie 05/22/2019
4/10
The offensiveness of Keating's story might not have been so transparent if everything else didn't feel so half-baked. Go to Full Review
Carolyn Mauricette Cinema Axis 05/17/2019
Darling is a must-see for those who want a great performance, jarring scares, and a fresh art-house take on classic themes. Go to Full Review
