What he wants to explore is ultimately harder to define-call it the longing for transcendence that's always underpinned American life. His handling of time's passing is subtle and mysterious as well

Los Angeles Times

A sketchy, enigmatic thriller that writer-director Michael Mongillo (reworking a Matt Giannini screenplay) can't quite fill out into a feature.

Diane falters toward the end, with the story's denouement not quite living up to the provocative set-up. But it nonetheless exerts a fascinating pull...

Diane gives viewers a haunting mystery that blends psychological thriller with the supernatural.

Starburst

Stylistically dark and broody at times, Diane is a contrast from other films in the genre... Good performances from Smith and Avers heighten the film.

Rated: 7/10

Diane is a slow burn that never ignites. There is almost a ghost story and barely a story of self realization here. But everything takes far too long to evolve. The dialog seems primitive especially with the police. The cops seem to be cloned directly from out takes of Dragnet (1967) TV.

I got to see this, even though it was sold out at the nyc fright fest (I believe that's what it was called!) and really enjoyed, didn't see the ending coming at all! As avery long-time fan of suspense and horror, I would definitely like to see this again.

I guess I can't give zero stars? Okay, well then the half star was for the one line that made me laugh... This was a waste of time. It felt like it was 3 hours long.
