Jay Cocks TIME Magazine 03/18/2020
The movie is one of those carefully jumbled jigsaw puzzles and comes complete with a rushed, not totally satisfactory explanation at the end. Go to Full Review Tom Milne Time Out 03/18/2020
The tortuous mystifications and ponderings (shakily shored up by the revelation that she sometimes suffers bouts of amnesia) wear out their welcome long before the final gush of explanations. Go to Full Review Roger Greenspun New York Times 03/18/2020
Samantha Eggar is so fine that she is in herself sufficient justification for the movie. Go to Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press 03/18/2020
Mystery-starved audiences may find some of this diverting, about the first half of it anyway. But the movie achieves a sort of plateau and never moves from it. Go to Full Review Christopher Hudson The Spectator 03/17/2020
