The PlaylistChristian GallichioJun 17, 2022
While the story beats may not be surprising, Poser still acts as an impressive debut for not only the directors but also Mix and Kitten, who create a simmering tension between them. Read full review

Paste MagazineNatalia KeoganJun 16, 2022
What’s most compelling about Poser is the titular concept it seeks to unravel, one of deception and contrivance that epitomizes the ultimate sin in expressive art. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisJun 16, 2022
At once polished and punky, Poser is about the maturing of a vampiric personality. Like its music, the movie feels exploratory and raw-edged, yet with a persistent pathos that clings to Lennon and isolates her. Read full review

Screen DailyWendy IdeJun 13, 2022
There’s much to admire here, but perhaps the film’s main achievement is the delicate balance struck with the central character. Read full review

The whole thing is oddly beautiful, absurdly compelling and even freakishly watchable. The general sensation of it approaches the out-of-place feeling of being at a party you don’t quite feel cool enough for.

The Film StageErik NielsenMay 26, 2022
A somewhat familiar story about obsession set adjacent to the unique world of the underground music scene in Columbus, Ohio, Poser is a charming and dark debut from directors Ori Segev and Noah Dixon. Read full review

Screen RantGraeme GuttmannJun 24, 2022
While it ultimately reveals everything too late, the film still feels fresh and, unlike plenty of what is released today (on podcasts and in theaters), actually does have something to say. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerJul 6, 2022
Poser, the debut feature from local filmmakers Ori Segev and Noah Dixon, is so in love with the scene from which it draws, with the bands given momentary cameos, with the cool hipness and store brand subversion of it all, that they never seem quite capable of giving it the critique for which they seem to aim.

Poser might have been more satisfying if its gauzy night-club aesthetic and bold, underlined dialogue didn’t smother viewers with trite observations about hipster artistes. Read full review
