Glenn Kenny New York Times A scary, dryly funny dissection of entrepreneurial absurdism bleeding into existential and metaphysical despair. Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety This original if sometimes befuddling vision blurs the line between fiction and documentary elements, conventional storytelling and improvisational collage, all to oft-bracing effect. Nov 30, 2018 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The movie is unique, and often off-putting, in ways that should be exciting to open-minded cinephiles. Nov 29, 2018 Full Review A.S. Hamrah n+1 Immersed in our shared dollar-store world of travel-sized toiletries, useless trinkets, and selfie sticks, Ghostbox Cowboy investigates American and Chinese capitalism by presenting two sides of the same bad penny. Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Lorry Kikta Film Threat The score by Casey Wayne McAllister encapsulates the dystopian discomfort the film is out to convey, somehow being serene yet grating simultaneously. Rated: 9/10 Jan 18, 2019 Full Review Ron Wilkinson It's Just Movies A scam flick that quickly breaks out into fantasy and morphs into a good-natured nightmare. Rated: 7/10 May 12, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I hated everyone in this movie. Looks great but is hard work at times. I get it. That's about it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Weird start. Quite vague. Looks like it was filmed on video - grainy. Pretty B grade. No idea why it has a high rating. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/18 Full Review Read all reviews
