While the visual component of Just Don't Think I'll Scream is characterized by the unrecognizable, the arcane, the audio element coheres as a stream of facts, dates, events, lucid thoughts and connections.

New York Times

The movie screams nothing so much as the pained self-absorption of depression - an anguished revelation, but dead-on.

Carson Lund

Slant Magazine

Its most immediate appeal is the simple scavenger's thrill of encountering so many tantalizing images in different formats from across film history in swift succession.

Rated: 3.5/4

Vadim Rizov

Filmmaker Magazine

There’s no room tone or music, just Beauvais’s unsparing chronicle of a dismal spring, summer and fall, illustrated by a truly overwhelming number of images.

Just Don't Think I'll Scream isn't the exercise in solipsism or self-serving appropriative art its premise threatens, but its overall effect is one of cautious distance.

Reverse Shot

Just Don't Think plays a game of its own, then, candidly revealing one moment and slyly obscuring the next.
