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 Jun 21, 2012 Full Review Robert Abele 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 Jun 8, 2012 Full Review Robert Koehler 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. Jun 7, 2012 Full Review 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 Jul 29, 2012 Full Review Jules Brenner Cinema Signals 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 Jun 9, 2012 Full Review Kimberly Gadette 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 Jun 7, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
