The A.V. ClubJenni MillerJun 25, 2015
Everson is endlessly watchable as she cycles through despair, anger, wariness, and trust. Her sense of humor as an artist and performer shines through. Read full review

SalonAndrew O'HehirJul 16, 2015
In its own strange way, the tiny, mysterious and occasionally terrifying indie film Felt captures the confusion of this moment in gender relations, and especially the confusion around the term “rape culture.” Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleJul 16, 2015
With so much conversation these days about the effects of rape culture, Felt, with its atmospheric DIY aesthetics, enters the discussion as a corrective chiller that can best be described as compassionately perverse about one type of pushback. Read full review

The DissolveScott TobiasJun 25, 2015
The payoff may be predictable, but Banker and Everson are refreshingly unclear about how they—and viewers—feel about it.

Slant MagazineWes GreeneJun 22, 2015
A hollow bit of violence exposes the film's sense of empowerment as nothing more than a harmless sheep masquerading in wolf's clothing. Read full review

The New York TimesBen KenigsbergJun 25, 2015
This vague, arty horror film from Jason Banker (“Toad Road”), who shares a story credit with his star, Amy Everson, is at once underwritten and overconceptualized. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJun 23, 2015
The germ of an idea is here. I’m just not sure it’s worth more than a shorter film than this one, which at 80 minutes is a bit of a drag. Read full review
