The idea of being a friend is what is at the core of this movie.

Film Threat

Monks' performance as Olly is beautifully sincere and hits moments of honesty that truly resonate.

Rated: 6/10

Less Hat, Moorhead

[Daniel] Monks and his costars are vibrant, skillful actors, and the movie is quite fearless in exploiting the dramatic possibilities of the idea.

Alexander Ryll

Gay Essential

A twist on the concept of trans sexuality, Pulse is more about body swapping than the traditional trans experience. Still, Cruz-Martin and Monks deliver an insightful look into the challenges of evolving into one's true self.

Shadows on the Wall

Some scenes are so raw that audience members feel almost invasive watching them.

Rated: 3.5/5

Sarah Ward

Screen International

The feature's lack of neatness pairs well with its crisp, realism-favouring visuals, as lensed by Cruz-Martin, as well as its performances.
