ObserverRex ReedMar 29, 2017
Beautiful and challenging, Bokeh has a pristine look and chilling feel of its own that contributes enormously to the mood and tone of the whole film. Read full review

Only worthwhile storytellers could take an elevator pitch like this one (the last two people on Earth) and produce long-lasting curiosity about its inherent beauty and horror. Read full review

Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlMar 21, 2017
Toward the end, the filmmakers relent on all the grieving sightseeing and offers up a couple plot developments, plus colloquies on matters geo- and theological. None of this proves as arresting as Iceland’s cliffs and horses, or those first moments of a city depopulated. Read full review

The VergeTasha RobinsonMar 22, 2017
There’s a lot of fantasy in the usual end-of-the-world scenarios, but there’s a lot of horror there as well. Bokeh asks which of those reactions is more appropriate, and how they both play out. It’s a gentle story, as apocalypses go, but even without monsters, it becomes a painful, emotional question of strength and survival. Read full review

VarietyDennis HarveyMar 30, 2017
The result is a “What if?” exercise that ultimately doesn’t take its starting premise to any place that’s terribly interesting. However, for at least as long as it appears to be heading somewhere, Bokeh holds attention with polish and resourcefulness on a limited budget. Read full review

The drama’s power may dwindle, yet its end-of-the-world scenario remains oddly recognizable. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyMar 23, 2017
There’s a seed of an interesting, Twilight Zone premise here — what would you do if you were the last two people on earth? But Bokeh doesn’t seem to know what to do with it besides have its photogenic Adam-and-Eve leads take long nature walks, play board games, and upgrade their living conditions. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMar 22, 2017
Writer-directors Geoffrey Orthwein and Andrew Sullivan had a solid concept and a great setting, but not much else. Read full review

The Film StageMike MazzantiMar 23, 2017
Because of this lack of dramatic momentum, the elements of Bokeh that do work best — the occasionally enrapturing cinematography, the dreamlike score, and the interesting-but-overused experiential editing — all wear thin halfway through. Read full review
