Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times 06/04/2015
"She's Lost Control" is a quiet triumph, a true herald of a distinctive and necessary voice in cinema. Go to Full Review
Drew Hunt Chicago Reader 05/14/2015
First-time writer-director Anja Marquardt paints a pointed, emotionally honest portrait of a woman detached from the public yet unable to avoid such typical life problems as a dysfunctional family and a straitened financial situation. Go to Full Review
Stephen Holden New York Times 03/19/2015
"She's Lost Control" sustains a mood of deepening alienation, but the attitude of the movie is too detached for it to be emotionally gripping, and its ending is botched. Go to Full Review
Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 02/13/2024
Marquardt crafts a tone akin to the paranoid thrillers of the 1970s. Go to Full Review

3/5
In her directorial debut, Anja Maquardt brought some darkness in a story which on the surface didn't seem like it would go that way. Go to Full Review

Alain E @AlainE Jun 4 Moves very slowly and is consumed with a lot of trivial details like the protagonist’s plumbing problems. Mercy! See more 11/27/2016 When silence and innuendo works as hard or even harder then dialogues and story. Very clever decision. And strong camera, editors and actors work.

Brooke Bloom brought a quiet intensity to her portrayal and was at all times believable. I would recommend this thoughtful exploration of the complicated world of personal and professional intimate relationships.

See more 07/22/2015 It's a very slow paced, very dull drama, but at the same time it manages not to be boring. Once you get to the ending, it becomes clear it's one of those films you watch and you can't help but to feel distanced from it and you won't remember much of it in a couple of days. On the surface Ronah is a behavioral psychologist getting her masters as a sexual surrogate, but deep down she's living proof of the saying "Those who can't do, teach". She's trying to teach sexual intimacy to the men she works with, yet she can't have any intimacy that is non sexual in her real life - a life that seems to be very gray and emotionally unfulfilling. It's an "okay" film. I don't esteem it highly. See more Read all reviews
