A woman starts to adopt pets from an animal shelter to ease her loneliness.

Barry Hertz

Globe and Mail

Young's story may be simple, but her understanding of image and character is remarkable. Just wait until she has more than $250,000 to work with.

Rated: 3/4

Cinemalogue

The deliberately paced screenplay remains engaging as it focuses on Donna's daily routine, while newcomer MacDonald finds sympathy amid her character's vulnerability.

Backseat Mafia

A quiet and poignant film about loneliness and how that unconditional love which a pet gives us can fill a void in our lives.

THN

An achingly lonely film, buoyant with joyful furballs, Murmur is an eye-opening study into isolation that feels uncomfortably real.

Rated: 4/5
