Time Out by

The film's horrifying experience looms over each well-constructed frame without anywhere to go.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis

This stylistic restraint may help deflect accusations of exploitation (though the film's two pivotal sex scenes both feel uncomfortably extended, the initial crime lasting a squirm-inducing six minutes), but it also impedes our connection with the victims.

Variety by Leslie Felperin

The screenplay leaves it to the audience to map the psychological terrain, which will frustrate some but thrill others who prefer oblique storytelling.
