The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzSep 10, 2019
Anne is such a startling and overwhelming work that the act of discussing it can feel unapproachable and crippling. Read full review

IndieWireSusannah GruderSep 5, 2021
Campbell’s staggering performance becomes the film’s center of gravity, her captivating sense of chaos and complexity giving the audience emotional motion sickness as her moods shift between extremes. Read full review

Original-CinLinda BarnardFeb 18, 2021
Nikolay Michaylov’s up-close and occasionally claustrophobic, documentary-style camerawork pushes the realization that Anne’s giddiness is always flirting with a dark rebound. We sometimes feel we’re in it with her as the camera whips around Campbell’s face. Read full review

Screen DailyWendy IdeAug 25, 2021
What the film does brilliantly is compose a symphony of social awkwardness, with Anne as its virtuoso focus. Read full review

VarietyJessica KiangAug 25, 2021
Anne at 13,000 ft might look like mumblecore, but it plays as a psychological horror and a ticking-clock thriller that morphs into a wild, windswept tangle of incipient, but never quite arriving tragedy. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungMar 25, 2020
On his third feature after "Tower" and "How Heavy This Hammer," Radwanski hits his quiet stride here, and the directing matches Campbell’s intuitive approach. Ajla Odobasic’s delicate, fast-moving editing reflects Anne’s uncertain hold on reality, while the open ending lets the viewer decide whether Anne or reality wins in the end. Read full review

If watching a low-key portrait of a person struggling through a personal crisis with a refreshing lack of cheap melodrama sounds intriguing, well, that's exactly what director Kazik Radwanski has delivered with undeniably compelling results. Read full review

[Campbell] and Radwanski pair well. Together, they make Anne at 13,000 Ft. into a work that may leave the audience gasping for air. Read full review

Campbell’s fearlessness, in both her abrasion and the fragile humanity behind her chaos, helps strike this delicate balance. Read full review

If you have ever experienced acute anxiety, panic attacks or any other nervous disorder, then watching Anne at 13,000 Ft – presumably through your fingers – will bring a sense of representation and horror in equal measure. Read full review

The film intimately immerses us in the psyche of a woman for whom each day is a minefield of uncomfortable interactions. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloAug 31, 2021
That Radwanski so expertly navigates the fraught subject of mental illness, avoiding most pitfalls, makes it at once harder to understand and easier to forgive the lack of subtlety in Anne At 13,000 Feet’s titular controlling metaphor. Read full review

An intriguing and drily comic film. Read full review

The New York TimesManohla DargisSep 2, 2021
The title character is one of those difficult women that the movies just can’t quit and rarely prove as interesting as filmmakers seem to think. Anne obviously has issues — psychological, behavioral, familial — but the movie isn’t big on specifics. It’s a pretty, uninvolving blur. Read full review
