Jason Bailey DVDTalk.com Anania seems to have directed his actors to contemplate and reflect on every thing they say, before and after they say it, so they're up there doing all this damned acting, and we're checking our watches. Rated: 1.5/5 Jun 29, 2020 Full Review Nick Schager Slant Magazine A turgid experiment in elliptical lyricism, William Vincent plays like a hybrid of Pickpocket, In the City of Sylvia, and The Passenger, except far more pretentious than even that description suggests. Jun 29, 2020 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter This dour, molasses-paced neo-noir, about a mysterious figure who becomes embroiled with a nasty criminal and his cohorts, sacrifices coherence and credibility for pretentious stylization. Jun 29, 2020 Full Review David D'Arcy Screen International Anania's rudimentary script, written for Franco, is a weak shell that's awkward for any actor to inhabit.
