IndieWireJude DryJan 9, 2022
See for Me wastes no frame in its brisk 92 minute running time, it’s a tightly-wound thriller propelled by enough turns that you won’t want to miss a beat. Read full review

VarietyMichael NordineJan 9, 2022
Skyler Davenport’s lead turn in director Randall Okita’s no-nonsense thriller (which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival last summer) will be worth remembering well after the January doldrums have passed. Read full review

Original-CinThom ErnstJan 12, 2022
Okita keeps a firm grip on the film's action, maneuvering the story through its layers of twists and possibilities without putting too much of a strain on our disbelief. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJan 3, 2022
This tight, tense and oh-so-logical home invasion tale brings “Wait Until Dark” into the cell phone era, with suspense that rivals the equally simple “Don’t Breathe.” Read full review

PolygonTasha RobinsonJan 7, 2022
See For Me updates the home-invasion formula with a couple of clever twists and a key relationship. But writers Adam Yorke and Tommy Gushue and director Randall Okita only push the formula so far before they run out of innovation. Read full review

Film ThreatMatthew PassantinoJan 9, 2022
Davenport is a blind actor who gives the proceedings some added depth because she’s able to convey a dramatic, manufactured scenario with some truth. See for Me, for its familiarity, offers enough thrills to merit seeking out. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayJan 6, 2022
Aside from the quirky and exciting gaming angle, See for Me is a pretty straightforward suspense film — but a well-crafted one. Read full review

Paste MagazineMatt DonatoJan 6, 2022
See for Me positions itself as an unfair tale of “easy target versus evil men,” but highlights its strongest material when valuing people beyond their disabilities. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerJan 5, 2022
It’s not just that it’s a great thriller. Its importance as a film is that it really weaves the lead character’s disability into the script, in a way that arguably wasn’t equaled in the subgenre until Mike Flanagan wrote a deaf heroine for Hush. Read full review

Screen RantFerdosa AbdiJan 10, 2022
See For Me is an exciting home invasion thriller that dares to challenge viewers with a complicated lead, even if it somewhat fumbles the execution. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyJan 7, 2022
While it’s able to periodically introduce a sense of danger—the burglars’ arrival, the sequence with the cop—it never creates the necessary continuity of dread and suspense. Read full review

The Film StageJohn FinkJan 9, 2022
It’s frustrating when a film provides us with an original character and an engaging first act while following so predictably in the shoes of other home invasion and defense thrillers. Read full review

RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiJan 7, 2022
Although their work is ultimately not enough to make “See for Me” anything more than a gimmick movie that never quite pays off, Davenport almost makes it worth watching and will leave you wondering about what they could accomplish with stronger material. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisJan 9, 2022
This uninvolving thriller is as lacking in tension as credibility. Read full review
