This Ill-Conceived fertility thriller is overwrought, underwritten and pure cynicism.

Slant Magazine by Diego Semerene
Writer-director Anders Morgenthaler's film is practically an exercise in over-explication.

I have to give Morgenthaler credit for what we used to call “moxie” — whatever the hell he’s doing, or thinks he’s doing, he’s fully committed to it, and while he doesn’t really pull off the unhinged apocalyptic fireworks he’s reaching for at the end (and I don’t think any director save Andrzej Zulawski, who’s clearly an influence, could pull them off), I give him credit for trying.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Ms. Basinger commits to her disturbed character. But the script (by the director, Anders Morgenthaler) makes Maria’s behavior so reckless — at times, she’s practically begging to be mugged or worse — that we have no chance of sympathizing with her.

Los Angeles Times by Katie Walsh
Writer-director Anders Morgenthaler's conclusion comes far too hastily and haphazardly, with a disregard for plot details or plausible storytelling.

It’s bracing to see Basinger take on something this dark, even if the darkness is empty.

The 11th Hour is a bona fide stinker, only worse. To borrow one of Mel Brooks’ favorite lines, it stinks on ice.
