Boston GlobePeter KeoughAug 28, 2014
Maybe not entirely depersonalized, however. Hogg has a point of view and a point to make, cryptic though they may be. Read full review

CineVueBen NicholsonJun 17, 2014
While it is serious, Hogg also manages to insert some oddball humour and a little hopeful levity into the proceedings. The fractures provide the absolutely riveting subject matter, but Exhibition shows the potential for healing and confirms its director's place at the forefront of intriguing British filmmakers.

Total FilmKevin HarleyJun 17, 2014
Hogg humanises the set-up with ripples of warmth, but it’s her evocation of a horror-style psychodrama through hints of domestic disquiet that lingers with you. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonJun 17, 2014
Beautifully shot with an acute eye for crisp composition, this intimate mood piece explores the subtle intricacies and low-level power struggles of long-term love in forensic detail. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinJun 17, 2014
Hogg withholds the specifics, and lets you decode things for yourself. Her camera rarely moves, but every shot is composed with total artistry, building to a final image that’s somehow both joyful and devastating. Read full review

Time Out LondonDave CalhounJun 17, 2014

The New York TimesStephen HoldenJun 19, 2014
Exhibition is an exquisitely photographed film that requires unusually close attention for it to reveal itself. Read full review

VarietyLeslie FelperinJun 17, 2014
With acute sensitivity, Brit writer-helmer Joanna Hogg’s third feature, Exhibition, explores the difficulty of telling inside from outside, intimacy from estrangement, and revelation from concealment. Read full review

Slant MagazineChuck BowenJun 18, 2014
There's considerable talent on display in Exhibition, but it's the kind of thing people mean when they use the term "art film" as a pejorative. Read full review

The PlaylistJessica KiangJun 17, 2014
There is beauty here, and exquisite craft in both the pictures and the minutely designed soundscape, and there are some truly chewy ideas thrown up about the porosity of the boundary between public and private that would have lent terrific, atmospheric texture to a film... But there is little connection to the characters. Read full review

Village VoiceNick SchagerJun 17, 2014
A film that's all airy, abstract pretentiousness. Read full review
