Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times 09/18/2014
An intimate family drama that subtly and delightfully subverts expectations of what kind of a tale it is and where it's headed. Go to Full Review Anita Gates New York Times 09/11/2014
The film means well but feels generic, strained and claustrophobic (despite several scenes at a deserted beach), with tight close-ups and sudden confrontations. Go to Full Review Michael Nordine Village Voice 09/10/2014
There's clearly a troubled history here, but co-writer/director Matt Rabinowitz doesn't artfully withhold information so much as lay it all on the table a bit earlier than he might have. Go to Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin 07/21/2020
B
Despite whatever rough edges it may have, the pieces come together to make a compelling whole. Go to Full Review John Fink The Film Stage 03/12/2016
C+
The Frontier is one of those films we watch on the edge of our seat. Sometimes it edges towards something rather complex which requires an elegant and original resolution. Go to Full Review Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International 09/11/2014
While its theatrical prospects are limited...The Frontier could find a strong second life via cable and streaming video, particularly among older moviegoers looking for character-driven dramas rather than action-heavy genre pictures. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
