Ben Sachs Chicago Reader 10/10/2018
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 Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 09/06/2018
A sketchy, enigmatic thriller that writer-director Michael Mongillo (reworking a Matt Giannini screenplay) can't quite fill out into a feature. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 09/05/2018
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... Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

08/09/2020 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. See more 08/24/2019 I'm still not sure if they had an affair or it was all in his mind! Kept me guessing! Great watch! Had a fun date night watching this on Amazon See more 10/08/2018 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. See more 10/07/2018 Worth seeking out whether your a fan of horror, the supernatural or police mysteries. You won't regret the time spent watching Diane. See more 10/06/2018 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. See more 10/03/2018 83- Are you kidding me? This is amateurish and boring and repetitive See more Read all reviews
