De Van’s film is one of the few features in recent memory that explores violence intellectually, rather than to employ it simply for easy entertainment.
LOS ANGELES TIMES

(De Van) has created a uniquely disturbing work…it’s made with a formal control and intensity that belie the fact that it’s de Van’s debut.
INDIEWIRE

An exploration of isolation and dissociation…a remarkable debut
NEW YORK TIMES

It is as disquieting a portrait of psychosis as has ever spilled across the screen….in her first feature (de van) exhibits the calm, cruel mastery of a born filmmaker….de Van goes further into the heart of modern vanity and loneliness than most filmmakers think to dare, and she earns our dazed sympathy as well as shock.
