The body of a homeless woman is found in an abandoned farmhouse, and a diary documenting a journey of starvation and the loss of sanity lies next to the body. For nearly four months, Linda Bishop, a prisoner of her own mind, survived on apples and rain water during one of the coldest winters on record. As her story unfolds from different perspectives, we learn about our systemic failure to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

This is a first film, but you would hardly know it.

Rated: 3/4

Ben Sachs

Chicago Reader

Inventively structured, the documentary alternates between her early adulthood and her final months, her sad demise casting a shadow over the story and giving the film an air of classical tragedy.

Austin Chronicle

God Knows Where I Am probes with curiosity and concern, but it results in very little fresh insight that might allow us to feel that Linda Bishop didn't die in vain.

Rated: 2.5/5

Had [Linda] Bishop been able to put a question mark at the end of that sentence, she might be alive today.

Above all, it's a very human story and a very well-told one -- which, in the end, makes it very hard to forget.

Rated: 4/5

Extremely sad, but good grief this movie dragged on forever. There just wasn't enough story to fill the amount of time it took to tell it. Probably more suitable for a 20-30 minute segment than a full movie.

Half the film are silent shots of an empty house. Cut that out and you have a 45 minute short that might be engrossing. But everything e the story picks up speed we have to sit thru long panning shots of a deserted farmhouse.
