Mark Kermode

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

The first half works better, but as a claustrophobic, psychological study...it's an interesting piece.

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

Bjørkaas Thedin's debut performance is striking in its restraint, but the film's thriller mode and social commentary B-plot never quite cohere.

Rated: 2/5

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

Written and directed by the actress Camilla Strom Henriksen, this is, in the tradition of Lukas Moodysson's Lilya 4-ever, quite the downer, but also very vague. And with distracting horror pretensions.

Rated: 2/5

Alexa Dalby

Dog and Wolf

Phoenix is shot in dark, restrained tones. It's unremittingly grim for the first half hour in its observation of the details of Jill's life.

Rated: 4/5

Liquid Marmalade

This is definitely a film to see at the cinema and if we want more interesting and complex stories such as this then we must show it by bums on seats.
