Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshAug 20, 2015
Gorgeous and naturalistic shots by cinematographer by Autumn Durald speak volumes, and the atonal, foreboding score by Nathan Halpern creates a sense of dread, though they are ultimately squandered in an underdeveloped story. Read full review

Time OutDavid EhrlichAug 13, 2015
Unfortunately, this austere allegory for the difficult process by which kids start to think for themselves only hints at the turbulence of its characters, who are kept at too far a remove for us to feel their growing pains. Read full review

Village VoiceMichael NordineAug 11, 2015
[Palermo] demonstrates an affinity for all things ethereal, even as he occasionally struggles to make space for himself in the long shadow of his estimable influences and reference points. Read full review

The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicAug 12, 2015
The silent scenes, which hold so much power in the first act, feel emptier and emptier, as the conclusion nears. Moments where Halpern’s score felt like it was adding to what was on screen, turn to moments where it’s compensating for the lack of interest. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeAug 20, 2015
There are simply too many loose ends to distract us, and too much empty air in which audiences can’t help but poke holes. Read full review

The New York TimesDaniel M. GoldAug 13, 2015
The film tries, unsuccessfully, to walk the same eerie, atmospheric trail as “The Village” by M. Night Shyamalan, or any number of Stephen King works. Read full review
