A musician with hypersensitive hearing searches for a sound that plagues him but cannot be heard by anyone else.

Peter Hartlaub

San Francisco Chronicle

An electronic score pulses throughout the film, which can be cliched in individual scenes but still goes in some unexpected directions.

Rated: 2/4

Los Angeles Times

The kind of grimly serious low-budget indie that wants to shake up perceptions about our engagement with the world, but mistakes repetition for resonance.

Rated: 2/5

Variety

Undone by tone-deaf repetitiveness and a particularly slack midsection, this debut feature by jack-of-all-trades filmmaker Rohit Colin Rao has some interesting ideas, but is unable to convincingly dramatize them.

Brent Simon

Shockya.com

A savvy, artful, well constructed little domestic drama of paranoia that builds its story around its limited production means but never sacrifices its thematic inquiry, its essence, its core.

Rated: B

The prolonged time devoted to Simon's susceptibility to Jonas' delusions leads to a wish on the audience's part to check what's playing on another channel.

Rated: 2/5

Doddle

Not so much black and white, as an intriguing black and gray and straw yellow and ivory, filmmaker Rao proves himself to be far more adept at shooting this film than writing it.

Rated: 4/10
