The film presents its tonal switch-ups and narrative swerves with a deadpan belligerence by turns stimulating, calculated, and poignant.

What are critics saying?
It's an ominous, claustrophobic, unhappily sapphic work whose thunderclap of a climax instills terror and awe of the fates' petty, whimsical cruelties.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Liam Lacey
If there’s a low-key disappointment to Vic and Flo, it’s that the film teases the mind and pleases the eye without requiring emotional commitment.
The New York Times by Manohla Dargis
This isn’t, it turns out, the usual once upon a time, but a story about the unknowns that can swallow us up.
