"Reversion" ultimately concludes in the most logical way imaginable, and it's to Marquez's credit that you won't see that coming.

New York Times

It's uninvolving, thanks to uninspired acting and a script that doesn't take the central idea very far.

Slant Magazine

It may look like a dream, but it plays like someone reading a congressional report on corporate finagling out loud.

Rated: 2/4

Cinema Crazed

The film keeps the mystery and intrigue going throughout its runtime while not giving everything away, making it a movie with a rewatchability factor.

Rated: 3.5/5

Playing with pleasure-inducing New Age affirmations in a high tech conspiracy tale is an interesting notion. It doesn't work in Reversion's frame of mind.

Rated: 2/5

Oh, what short form sci-fi master Ray Bradbury would have made of this overlong short story!

There's a genuinely interesting idea that unfortunately fails to come through in the poor execution.

This film was simply awful. The concept of the technology they introduced into the film had potential but, the twist in the story was not even worth making a film out of it.
