Atcheson has found a clever way to tell a lot of story without many resources - although the end result is still more exhausting than enticing.

Sight & Sound

there is a decidedly existential flavour to the film's preoccupation with infernal routines and the hell of other people

The MovieMaven

This high concept, low budget movie manages to create a tense intrigue throughout by moving the story along through the guess-the-mystery, intensive dialogues and claustrophobic single-settings.

Good sci-fi speaks to the times, and Domain has done that twice in four years

Despite the flaws in the story, it is a new idea that is interesting even if it is similar to other science fiction stories of survival. The greatest strength the film has is the cast.

Eye for Film

It's always difficult for films like this to take the next step after the central mystery is resolved.

Rated: 2.5/5

You can't hardly find it anywhere and it was actually pretty good. Utilizing very few locations to be able to tell a story was interesting and the Set design was really cool. I enjoyed all the acting, and just surprised it did not get more attention.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

An interesting, well acted, slow burn sci-fi. The twist ending wasn't really (to me at any rate) a surprise as it telegraphs itself a little to obviously but it's still a good movie. I seem to remember reading a short story many years ago in the early days of 2000AD, where one of their Future Shocks had a very similar concept. Never the less, both I and my wife especially, enjoyed it.

I found it obvious what was going on fairly quickly in the movie. I still watched it til the end but some of it was painfully obvious.

Another budget drama in a box, post-apocalyptic but a splash of Zoom meeting all day long.

A 15 minute short's worth of ideas stretched across 97 long long minutes. Britt Lower uses the time to show us how many facial expressions per minute she can manage. She can manage a lot - I think she was trying for some kind of record. Why exactly she's so facially busy is the actual mystery of the film - the 'official' mystery is pretty much discoverable all too early. Given that she & we are stuck in a film where there's no action, no character development & no dialog worthy of the name - what's all the emoting about Britt? That's the mystery.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
